If the strings don’t contain characters that help define a variable, like an underscore, how is it better practice to use curlies? It’s it just for consistency? Have you had any style guides or linters critique the use of variables without them?
Brackets make it explicit what you’re trying to do. Do you want “dingbar” or do you want “dong”? I forget what the actual behavior is if you don’t use brackets here, because I always use brackets for this reason now

foo=ding foobar=dong echo \$foobar
