A quick and dirty way is to stringify your object and perform a regex replace:
const newApplication = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(application).replace('[tbd]', 'Daffodil'))
It's likely this is more performant as well, but I haven't tested it. It also introduces the possibility of some nasty bugs if your new input isn't sanitized in some way, so your method is certainly better in that regard.
But this fails quite readily if any part of your object isn't stringifiable as JSON!
Also true! Just works for your example
