Comment (by priethor):

 I have stumbled upon this ticket while running into a similar need, and
 would like to add a third approach:

 What about adding an optional flag to `register_rest_field`, e.g
 `return_by_default`, defaulting to `true` to maintain backward
 compatibility with existing registrations. Conceptually, the default
 response without `_fields` wouldn't return "all fields" but "the default
 fields".
