I finally figured out what the pb was: this is most likely related to the upgrade of the Jayway jsonpath library from 0.9.1 (SOAPUI 5.6) to 2.4.0 (SOAPUI 5.7). See SOAPUI release notes:

  • We've updated a number of third-party libraries, including the following:

    - Apache Log4j library to 2.17.1.

    - Jayway jsonpath to 2.4.0.

In the project file, replacing "$..status[0]" with " $[0].status" solved the issue.

I used this website for JSONPath implementation differences and validation: https://jsonpath.herokuapp.com/.
