I am not sure I understand what you mean by " write the models to work with the serializers". A model is there primarily for data storage and its possible to store JSON in a field of such a model. Any "business logic" for the model is just Python and can carry out, for example, processing operations on the JSON data.
For more on JSON operations and JSON fields with databases, have a look at: http://www.lexev.org/en/2015/trying-json-combo-django-and-postgresql/ https://www.laurencegellert.com/2018/09/django-tricks-for-processing-and-storing-json/ for some useful examples. P.S. If you are working with current versions of Python and Django, you should not yet be in the position to need any shim.
