Neither as a attribute that indicates it is a ultra beast, like is_baby (in the specie endpoint) or is_mega (in the form endpoint)... is_ultra_beast isn't a bad one.
Currently the only know way to say if the pokémon is a ultra beast is checking the ability Beast Boost. But, I think it is not the best way to do it. I think the APIs can be more explicit regarding this. And, I think it is not future proof, since someday Game Freak can change the dependency of Beast Boost.

This is a good point. It shouldn't be hard to add this attribute to data currently. Feel free to make a pull request with changes and we can help review it and merge it.
Adding a new flag is_beast would be easy but not maintainable. We rely on the data format decided by Veekun. They currently don't have any flag for identifying a beast pokemon. @nairraghavadded successfully it to the CSV pokemon_species file but I asked him to remove it since this would break future updates from Veekun.
You could suggest over here to add the new property.
