Am using the new 'job' interface to run jobs for the first time. & noticed a few things

It's nice & a huge improvement :-)
I'm not clear why you can change the 'civicrm_api3' bit
We could enhance it by using some of the api building blocks - we have a function to pick out the method name & to getfields to retrieve what parameters are available & which are required / what the defaults are (we would need to add spec functions & get rid of some of the legacy stuff. I had to look at the code to figure out the parameters
There was no clear indication of success in the log
it's not possible to clone a job on the listing
Specific to the job I was doing - not sure why contact type & greeting type need to be compulsory - I had to run it 6 times (& couldn't clone it) on a db of 500 contacts
Also, the job I was doing had checking against a range of possibilities - e.g. Individual, Organisation, Household - this should go in the wrapper layer & leverage getfields too
