If you have time, could you please port the EasyStarJS behavior?

Thank you for doing this!

You can load (parse) that JSON string into JSON object. But if you want to load into a C3 array, then the string needs to have a very specific format. For example:
{"c2array":true,"size":[3,1,1],"data":[[["John"]],[[123]],[[456]]]}

Since you have WalkLeft and WalkRight animations, why do you need to mirror the sprite?

Looks like you have two Dir variables - one global/local and one instance. Make sure to use the instance variable on the Frog sprite.

You can use the Timer behavior.

Player On hit
Timer "invincible" is not running 
 ---> Player Subtract 10 from health
 ---> Player Start "invincible" timer for 1 second

Thank you for your example, I'm trying to understand how it works now and adapt it to my version of Construct 2, but Construct 3 has much more functionality than Construct 2

You can definitely recreate my example in Construct 2 — it has all the features you need. It just requires a bit of effort on your part, rather than waiting for someone else to put the whole project together for you.

managing data with EventSheets alone may become a pain

It's not that bad. The trick is to move from arrays to JSON. Once you get familiar with JSON, dealing with data in C3 becomes a lot easier.

If you are using C2, you can open the project in the free version of C3 to see how it's done.

Your load code is a bit of a mess. I suggest using local variables instead of multiple nested tokenats(). Also, token indices start with 0.

I considered using smaller “sensor” sprites to detect tile occupancy, but this feels inefficient.

Why do you think that’s inefficient? That’s actually how I’d handle it - place invisible sensor sprites in the layout editor and use them for tile detection, positioning, and grid snapping.
