I prefer the idea of using empty webhooks. The message body contains the id of what changed, and a status like "NAME_CHANGED", but not the data that changed. Then paired with the API to retrieve the real data.
Webhooks shouldn't be assumed to be reliable, and that should be clear in the API docs. You can perform your own lookup to these data APIs to confirm the source of truth in your own data
