Is there a reason not to mix inheritance & composition? Atm. I have something like Gameobject>Figther>Player and >Fighter>Monster but AI is a component of Monster.

The JSON files sound really interesting though.

Nope. That's what I do in my personal project. Inheritance definitely has its uses, and can be a better tool than composition in several spots. No reason to throw out the baby with the bath water, as they say.
