FWIW this has happened at an association I help at -- they had VMs with
no root password set, and users created by puppet some of whom have
sudo.
They just expected no root password = no login possible, but it turns
out 'su' just gave out a root shell with no password entered...

It's easy to fix once I realized that, but it had been that way for
quite a while until then; I'd definitely support removing nullok on the
default install.
