Has anyone using TSRE come up with a method for removing the outdated Zero nodes used in msts?
Alternatively, could it be coded into OR to ignore these nodes for AI traffic and not display them in the track monitor?

The Zero Degree Nodes are switches. The procedure to remove them is the same:
All interactive objects (Signals, Speed and Mileposts, Siding and Platform Markers, Hazard Markers, Level Crossings) on the vector (track) to either side of the Zero Degree Node(s) to the next Nodes must be removed.
Then the Zero Degree Nodes may be safely removed and the resulting gap filled with a couple of small track sections.

The reason it has to be this way is all interactive objects are referenced to TrackNodes.
TrackNodes are switches, crossovers and End of Track.

Remove a Node and you scramble all the interactive references on the vector (track) between the Nodes on the track to both sides of the Node you're dicking with.
