You could probably do this pretty easily with a simple python script. Use the yaml parser to convert into a dictionary, use the JSON renderer to save that dictionary into a pipe file. Launch the visual editor of your choice on that file. When the editor exits, read the file as JSON, parse it back into a dictionary, and use the yaml renderer to save that dictionary back into the original file.
Yeah that was exactly what I was thinking, and/or doing a similar thing in lua as an nvim plugin
That said I'm not sure if neovim would support something like that
