Just because you can't do assignments like that, it doesn't mean you shouldn't use null coalescing for reads. What exactly could go wrong?

Paranoid null checking of every property dereference everywhere (much?.like?.in ?.my?.joke) whether each is ever possibly null or not, usually combined with not thinking through what the code behavior should be for each null case.
(Gets a lot better if you enable nullable references and upgrade the nullable reference warnings to errors.)
