At least, we should fix

   git notes add -C e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391

Whether we should also change

   git notes add -m ''

to create an empty note, or leave it as-is, (i.e. similar in spirit to
"git commit -m ''"), I'll leave up to further discussion.

The help for git commit has this:

  --allow-empty-message
    Like --allow-empty this command is primarily for use by
    foreign SCM interface scripts. It allows you to create
    a commit with an empty commit message without using
    plumbing commands like git-commit-tree(1).

Why not add the same/similar option to git notes add?

Sounds like a good direction to go.
