Friction-less scala - Tell us what is causing friction in your day-to-day life with Scala
I've had great experience with ScalaPB and even better with fs2-grpc (which builds on top of ScalaPB).

Working with polymorphic data models in a REST API
One way I've solved this is to use Protobuf contracts to serialize json with ScalaPB. They have a way implementing oneof that keeps each object individual and separate. Even if you don't decide to use PB, you can take some inspiration from the implementation.

Scala 3.0 serialization
You could try out protocol buffers. Not sure how stable it is, but I noticed they have a Scala3 version of their runtime library. (Disclaimer: I have not tried it out myself)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Pickling and ScalaPB you can also consider the following projects:
scodec - Scala combinator library for working with binary data
µPickle - uPickle: a simple, fast, dependency-free JSON & Binary (MessagePack) serialization library for Scala
ScalaBuff - the scala protocol buffers (protobuf) compiler
Chill - Scala extensions for the Kryo serialization library
avro-codegen
Scrooge - A Thrift parser/generator
Avro4s - Avro schema generation and serialization / deserialization for Scala
