What do you think how well would this work in D2 ?
Chaining . operation is a code smell to begin with, and having
everything nullable is dubious as well. This is fixing a problem
that shouldn't exists to begin with.

Please no.
Yes. Taken from the example:
parent?.child?.child?.child
Given no context, this may make sense. But with context, likely you have
verified beforehand the answers to some, if not all, of these question
marks.
However, even with that, I can't help but expect there should be a way to
do this in D without changing the language.
Something like:
ifnull(parent).child.child.child
