Yes, it's ridiculous, I personally think emacs lisp regexes are
unusable once escapes are involved, especially interactively.
You can use rx instead of strings to make regexes from s-expressions.
Strings elements are always assumed to match literally (rx will always
escape whatever is needed to match the string literally).
(query-replace-regexp (rx "\\[" (group (+ (not (any "}")))) "\\]") ...
