As I’ve been getting into zig I’ve been writing functions such that if they could return null they throw an error instead. Is this correct? Or will it just be a nuisance later on

Depends
Think about what the "default" way to handle it should be
If it's "pass it up to the caller" then an error is correct, because try is the "default" error handling strategy
If it's "choose a different value", "assert" or "store the null" then it should be an optional
