I've occasionally found the following idiom useful:

a?.b.?.c

can be rewritten as:

((a||{}).b||{}).c

This takes advantage of the fact that getting unknown attributes on an object returns undefined, rather than throwing an exception as it does on null or undefined, so we replace null and undefined with an empty object before navigating.
