This is indeed a nice trick, but do keep in mind that in order for this to work the object must not contain dates, functions, undefined, infinity, nan, regexes, maps, sets, blobs, file lists, image data, sparce / typed arrays or any other complex types. For the majority of the cases though it will do the trick.
You can also use
JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj))But stringify removes lots of things so you need to write reviver etc. to support instances or constructor refrrences

If there had been any of the above mentioned, then I would not have recommended my approach.
As you stated this works in the majority of situations and for the examples given.
