That's invalid JSON - there are stray commas.

Unique indexes are useful for ensuring that each row is unique based
on some criteria, possibly a quite complex expression. However, it's
not clear what behavior is expected here, since multiple SKUs may
appear per row. If you had a table with "products", with a jsonb
column, and one row per product, you could then usefully extract at
most one SKU per row, and that could work fine. But the structure you
present isn't amenable to that.
