An update provides no value except as a signal to users that the developer hasn't killed the project. I was wondering how annoyed or reassured users would be if they saw version x.x.x+1 with release notes noting no changes.

Please don't. A sentence like "I'm still around, don't have anything to release for now because the library is feature-complete and no bug has been found for a while" would be better.
If you have some kind of security review process for dependency updates, then this is annoying.
