I like np.filled_with(), but just to be devil's advocate, think of the
syntax:

np.filled_with((10, 24), np.nan)

As I read that, I am filling the array with (10, 24), not NaNs.  Minor
issue, for sure, but just thought I raise that.

-1 on deprecation of np.ma.filled().  -1 on np.filled() due to collision
with np.ma (both conceptually and programatically).

np.values() might be a decent alternative.
