No need to check for doc._id in a view since views doesn't indexed design documents by default. Just use a single emit(null, null) with _count to reduce index size. Another way to to make a two queries: GET /db and GET /db/_all_docs?startkey="_design"&endkey="_design0" and apply some math on total documents count and amount of returned design docs.
