On Snowflake the only way to update objects is through an object insert, but I need to update these objects using a join from another table. How do I do an object_insert with joins on snowflake?

the parts are somewhat separate:
There is the UPDATE table FROM / WHERE which is where you do the update, and the new data comes from the FROM/WHERE
So from the 2 tables UPDATE example you have:
update t1
set
number_column = t1.number_column + t2.number_column,
t1.text_column = 'ASDF'
from t2
where t1.key_column = t2.t1_key and t1.number_column < 10;
so you weave in the object_insert might become:
update t1
set
number_column = t1.number_column + t2.number_column,
t1.text_column = 'ASDF',
t1.awesome_json = OBJECT_INSERT( t1.awesome_json, 'add_new_field', t2.number_column, false),
t1.other_json = OBJECT_INSERT( t1.other_json, 'update_field', t2.number_column, true)
from t2
where t1.key_column = t2.t1_key and t1.number_column < 10;
