Shalom everyone! There are some layouts where there is no h1 header.
And I'm wondering if they still need to be written in the code and hidden in the middle css, for example, clip(0,0,0,0)?

If the header is not provided by the design, then you need to make it and gray it out using display:none. Search engines will see it and take it into account. There will be no sanctions for this, 100% verified.

Of course, it is an important element, but what is the point of inserting an empty one, it will not be indexed anyway.

Especially for such things, they came up with the visually-hidden class. available hiding. Those. the title will be available to readers and search engines will not mind. Everyone is happy.
There are several options for such hiding, for example, https://snook.ca/archives/html_and_css/hiding-cont...

if the seo issue is not acute for you, you can, of course, hide and not prescribe h1 at all. there is no difference, because when there are no relevant headings, this is bad only for seo.
if you expect a SEO bonus from these pages, it’s better to kick the designer and the SEO specialist so that they provide a sensible h1. checked!
those. if I understand your question correctly, then the best solution is to get a good relevant title, insert it, but hide it with CSS.
