@Meaningness is Tantra monist? (I'm specifically thinking of Nyingma Vajrayana and Tantric Shaivism) It seems like a lot of your concepts of the complete stance stem from Tantra but as I'm learning about it it seems pretty monist to me...
Dzogchen gives, I think, the best analysis of the problem space. Some of its texts come across as monist and eternalist, however. Otoh, they do also say “you could misread this as monist eternalism, but we’re just using metaphorical language.”

There’s a strong tendency to dualistic nihilism in Madhyamaka, which was the Other Leading Brand Dzogchen mainly compared itself to. So some Dzogchen texts tend to overcorrect, rhetorically.

None of this stuff is written up clearly in any one place, unfortunately. I’m trying to do that, drawing on lots of different, obscure sources.
