If you don’t need your T to be nullable, you can constrain it to Any, and then register a polymorphic serializer for Any, as the comments indicate. Or so I think, I do something similar in my use case, and that works just fine.

I do need it be nullable unfortunately

I worked around this by replacing my nullable T with an Optional<T> type. Too bad there are still so many rough edges with serialization.
