Writing thing on my end: I actually fucking hate blank slate protagonists. I know I just wrote one, it wasn't my choice. I'll never do it again if I have a choice. I think being able to use the state of the POV character as part of the narrative framework makes it better, outright.

If you have to write around the possibility of the POV being anyone rather than a specific character, you miss a lot of room for characterization from other characters, too, not just the protagonist. You will not catch me writing a soulless husk unless that's literally the point.
