fix: Nested objects are encoded incorrectly for MongoDB (#8209)

BREAKING CHANGE: Nested objects are now properly stored in the database using JSON serialization; previously, due to a bug only top-level objects were serialized, but nested objects were saved as raw JSON; for example, a nested `Date` object was saved as a JSON object like `{ "__type": "Date", "iso": "2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" }` instead of its serialized representation `2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z` (#8209)
