I wonder if we could just call sql_to_logical_expr here (rather than repeating part of the parsing) so that any expression in the values list could be supported
That would allow things like CASE .. WHEN .. END type expressions in the VALUES lists as well
Although if we went with that approach, we probably would have to then do a post creation check for unsupported expressions (like Column, Aggregate, etc)

i'd like to keep this list small for now unless really needed in future.

the key assumption here is that for all the expression in the values list they should be evaluated to a scalar or singleton array, but there's no way to test for that during planning time?

Makes sense to me

I think in general most Exprs have the property that they can be compiled into a PhysicalExpr and that PhysicalExpr can be evaluated to produce a ArrayRef. There are some exceptions like Expr::Aggregrate etc that don't compile directly to a PhysicalExpr but are special cased
