That should never work because mustache operates on strings.

Yes. That is correct as the literal is not JSON.
Lacking a media type for mustache, expect this to work as:
let $options := {"count" : count($source/*/para)}
data "text/plain" '{"numParas" : {{count}}}' -> x:mustache($options)
-> parse-json()
