I suggest you update your patch and send a v2 using:

        if (!nft_output_terse(octx) && set->init && set->init->size > 0) {
                ...

It would be also good if you can add a test. For instance, have a look at:

        tests/shell/testcases/transactions/0049huge_0

which also adds a shell tests for json. You can just get back the
listing in json and compare it. I suggest you use the
testcases/listing/ folder to store this new test.

Please, also check you MUA, it seems it mangles your attachments.

Thanks.
