I understand how are metadata useful, and i do not ask to omit it, but
my idea is/was that "nftables" can be object (instead of list):

    {"nftables": {
        "metadata": {...},
        "sets": [
            {...},
            ...
        ]
    }}

Thus one can just use:

    jq ".nftables.sets[]"

Instead of ugly:

    jq ''.nftables[1:][].set'

Or too long:

    jq '.nftables[] | select(.set != null).set'
