FIXED !

I have implemented an extension to %ZJSON.Generator to fix missing JSONTYPE

Standard Caché data types don't have a parameter JSONTYPE (!!) so everthing is set to (quoted) "string".
Especially numbers and boolean data must not be in quotes. 
       e.g  ....."NUMfield":124, "TrueFalse":true, ....  
instead of  ....."NUMfield":"124", "TrueFalse":"true", .... 


this extension bypasses the missing parameter for these standard data types as indicated in %ZJSON.Adaptor
/// number = %BigInt, %Currency, %Decimal, %Double, %Float, %Integer, %Numeric, %SmallInt, %TinyInt
/// boolean = %Boolean

For customized data classes it is easy to add  Parameter JSONTYPE=". . . ."
But changing sometihng in SYSLIB is a clear NO-NO to me.   ( though it might have been easier)

The extended version of %ZJSON.Generator is here:  
https://github.com/rcemper/Backport-JSON.-to-Cach-/blob/master/MissingJSONTYPE.xml

Some more findings what happens:
The output methods are code generated. And the generator just uses JSONTYPE from the data type class.
That means that even as the property parameter is available in Studio, ... you can't change it.

example: Property bool as %Boolean (JSONTYPE="string")  is just ignored  and you see ,"bool":false

This means: JSONTYPE is frozen in the data type class
Bringing Parameter JSONTYPE into the class (e.g, by %ZJSON.Adaptor) has no influence to the Generator 

To achieve the expected result you require a customized data class as suggested by  @Timothy Leavitt 

Out of 25 only these 7 6  classes are affected the rest is string which is default anyhow.

boolean %Library.Boolean.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE 
number  %Library.Currency.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE 
number  %Library.Decimal.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE 
number  %Library.Float.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE 
number  %Library.Integer.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE 
number  %Library.Numeric.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE 
number  %Library.PosixTime.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE  not in Caché

IRIS has added a new parameter in 25 Data Classes:   
Parameter JSONTYPE = ...
I'll see the impact  as soon as I find free time

%Library.Binary.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.Boolean.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.Currency.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.Date.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.Decimal.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.Double.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.EnumString.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.FilemanDate.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.FilemanTime.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.FilemanTimeStamp.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.FilemanTimeStampUTC.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.FilemanYear.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.Float.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.InformixTimeStamp.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.Integer.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.List.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.ListOfBinary.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.Name.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.Numeric.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.PosixTime.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.Status.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.String.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.StringTimeStamp.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.Time.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE
%Library.TimeStamp.cls(JSONTYPE): Parameter JSONTYPE

With a small extension, you may get closer to your result.
What you expect is a JSON Array, but %JSONExport... works on data OBJECTS, not on data TYPES { same as XMLExport() }

So I have created a small wrapper object:

Class Test.javier Extends (%RegisteredObject, %JSON.Adaptor) 
{ Property wrap As Test.elementList(%JSONFIELDNAME = " "); }

extending Test.Main:

Class Test.Main Extends %RegisteredObject 
{ ClassMethod Run()  {
  Set elem = ##class(Test.element).%New()
  Set elemList = ##class(Test.elementList).%New()
  Do elemList.Insert(elem)
#; Do elemList.%JSONExportToString(.json)
#; Do ##class(%ZJSON.Formatter).%New().Format(json)
#;; extended
 set jav=##class(Test.javier).%New()
 set jav.wrap=elemList
 Do jav.%JSONExportToString(.json)
 set json=$e($p(json,":",2,*),1,*-1)  ;  a little bit dirty 
 Do ##class(%ZJSON.Formatter).%New().Format(json)
} }

And here we go:

SAMPLES>do ##class(Test.Main).Run()
[
    {
      "field1":"testField1",
      "field2":"testField2"
    }
]
SAMPLES>

Just to verify if this is a %JSON specific problem I added also %XML.Adaptor to the classes.
And there is a similar problem: %ListOfObjects seems to be the bad guy. 

Do elemList.%JSONExport()
      {"ElementType":"Test.element","Size":1}
Do elemList.XMLExport()
     <elementList><ElementType>Test.element</ElementType><Size>1</Size></elementList>
zw elemList
elemList=2@Test.elementList  ; <OREF>
+----------------- general information ---------------
|      oref value: 2
|      class name: Test.elementList
| reference count: 2
+----------------- attribute values ------------------
|            Data(1) = ""
|        ElementType = "Test.element"
|            Oref(1) = "1@Test.element"
|               Size = 1  <Set>
+-----------------------------------------------------

in your query, I  see "Timestamp"  and Timestamp

Check the status of SUPPORT_DELIMITED_IDENTIFIERS parameter

Next check the date type of your column named Timestamp.
easiest SELECT top 5 "Timestamp","Skillset"  FROM "dbo"."iSkillsetStat"  
 also try SELECT Timestamp,Skillset  FROM dbo.iSkillsetStat
without any quoted columns

#1)
- create a simple Business Process using the wizard
- compile it and see the resulting class and at least 4 related .int routines.
- then decide if you really want to do this all manually
the challenge is to properly use and service the methods you see in Ens.BusinessProcess

To make it easier you may install (or activate) the ENSDEMO namespace as an example (before IRIS. have no idea where it is gone)

#2)

you write.    ---transformation (written in DTL), but the code is manually written. ---

It might sufficient to put your code just into a CODE Block of a BP generated with the wizard.
