Well there is bad UX and just ugly default browser shit

I really don't feel bad hiding a scrollbar for a side menu that is a mere 50px wide.
If they asked me to remove the general scrollbar, agreed.

I would just advise them to add a small sticky indicator that there is more content below the fold and then hide the scrollbar as a fix to the UX issue, like I mentioned before. That may not be neccessary in every case, but in the one you showed, it would be rather useful.

Maybe some light inset shadow with js? Or a very thin scrollbar using pseudo selectors...
Or clip some content in such a way that the user would know there's scrollable content...
