Are there any accounts of "emptiness", preferably purely phenomenological/methodological, that don't presume a contentious metaphysics?
Hmm. It seems you think there is a single, specific thing that this word points at? I don’t there is. Explaining what’s wrong with Prasangika would take quite a few tweets (or a long book; Mipham’s _Beacon of Certainty_ is one standard source).

It seems to be what all the schools converge/divide on. If there is something true to be discovered all the descriptions must point at the “specific thing” but the thing is an absence of a thing. If that makes any sense.

That analysis presupposes the Prasangika conclusion: that “emptiness” is a mere negation. That is explicitly rejected by other schools (e.g. Nyingma and zhentong), which ascribe positive characteristics to it.
