Accessibility First DevRel. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
I personally over rely on null as it works so nicely with databases, but that is just laziness on my part and you are right that stripping null values instead of validating them (which does require some thought so you don’t open a massive security hole) does seem cleaner!

Let me know if you hit any wall while trying to get rid of those nulls, and I'll do my best to help out. In my personal experience I even noticed some speed bumps in requests/responses because payloads were always smaller 🎉
