Comment (by grantmkin):

 > What are the thoughts on if $fallback_template is falsey, to skip
 prepare_item_for_response and keep the return value the same.

 I don't particularly like the inconsistency of other methods in the
 templates controller returning a 404 error when a template isn't found,
 but the fallback route returning a 200 status with an empty response. But
 I see how this makes sense for a minor release, to minimize changes.

 I've updated the wordpress-develop PR to skip prepare_item_for_response
 and return an empty object when the fallback template isn't found.
