A few Pods 3.0.1 and PHP 8.1 Deprecated warnings (functions-view_template.php on line 174, Pods.php on line 741)

Description

On a test site, when updating to PHP 8.1, and with WP_DEBUN on, I get these deprecation warnings:
Deprecated: substr(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /home/removed/wp-content/plugins/pods/components/Templates/includes/functions-view_template.php on line 174

and

Deprecated : strlen(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /home/removed/wp-content/plugins/pods/classes/Pods.php on line 741

Is that something you can reproduce?

I'm using Pods Templates with MagicTags™. Please tell me, if I should put some effort into pinpointing exactly what query triggers the warning.

Will tackle this along with the strlen() issues in pick.php (line 2959) - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tons-of-php-deprecated-strlen-messages-in-error-log-under-php-8-x/#post-17063480
