Is there a way to define a ROS message or service with arbitrary python objects?
No.
Is the only option to use a string and use json.dumps / json.loads?
Don't know whether it's the only way, but it is a way.
Can you clarify why you'd want to do this?
It's a really heavy and invasive form of coupling, which limits reusability of your components.
