Is this the best way to create a list (that can be empty) for use with templates?

You could use compact instead of initial. This would remove any empty items from your array. Alternatively, you can build a JSON string and call fromJson. There are probably other ways too. Regarding ref. By design, it only accepts a single ActionNode (i.e. One set of {{...}}) so if statements are not possible. ref is designed for you to be able to refer to other variables while maintaining their type, not for logic. It is actually a side-effect of the templating engine that functions are available for use in ref, but we felt this was acceptable/useful.

sources with wildcards, can I run the command only for the modified files?

This isn't possible at the moment, but I think this could be really useful if you wanted to open an issue on GitHub

Working out why a task with sources and generates is considered up to date

The generated hash is stored in the .task directory. However, there is no way to see which files this hash represents. The behaviour that you're describing shouldn't be happening though. I created a full example similar to yours that seems to work fine

version: '3'

vars:
  TARGET_DIR: ./asdf

tasks:
  default:
    deps: [update_target]
    sources:
      - "{{ .TARGET_DIR }}/**"
    generates:
      - foo.zip
    cmds:
      - zip -r foo.zip {{ .TARGET_DIR }}

  update_target:
    cmds:
      - echo $(date) > {{ .TARGET_DIR }}/source.txt

version: '3'

vars:
  TARGET_DIR: ./asdf

tasks:
  default:
    deps: [update_target]
    sources:
      - "{{ .TARGET_DIR }}/**"
    generates:
      - foo.zip
    cmds:
      - zip -r foo.zip {{ .TARGET_DIR }}

  update_target:
    cmds:
      - echo $(date) > {{ .TARGET_DIR }}/source.txt
