We might as well make the PHP 9 upgrade as hard as possible, just to force a

Just to be clear, strict_types has nothing to do with this; changing it
does not allow you to pass nulls to typed parameters, and
I don't think that would actually be wise. Automatic casting of null to
other types is a handy feature and deprecating it brings no benefit to
anyone.
Instead, if you want, submit a proposal to reverse the direction. Make it
so that null is cast to an appropriate type in params and return values.
