I'd have a customizable list of unimportant/internal properties, and
if a property drawer only contains these properties, it is hidden.

You mention that these drawers don't clutter display, so as an
example, consider the following screenshot:
  https://michael.cadilhac.name/public/org-props.png
All the property drawers in that screenshot consist of "ID" elements
added by ox-icalendar.  Arguably, these properties are internal values
and their storage shouldn't interfere with the user's experience.

But I do understand being uneasy about hiding stuff.   Another
solution that would work for me would be to change the font size and
color a folded :PROPERTIES: drawer, and have a normal font when I open
the drawer.  Is there a way to do that?
I thought I could start playing with the face "org-drawer" but it
looks unused.  Any help?

Thanks!

Cheers;
