I'm switching to Shopify, which provides a minimalistic site map that looks like this:
Code:
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<!--
 This is the parent sitemap linking to additional sitemaps for products, collections and pages as shown below. The sitemap can not be edited manually, but is kept up to date in real time. 
-->

I have a couple of questions.
  1. The links contain links to more detail. In the past I've submitted site maps with the full tree of links. Is this site map just as good?
  2. The last link is to a blog that doesn't exist. The page has the site header and footer, but no content. The header and footer are SEO optimized so have lots of internal links. Since there's no content, would Google consider this to be SEO spamming?

    Site maps really have very little purpose these days. If you have a well structured website, all the pages will get crawled. Go with what they give you. It'll be just fine.

      Nonsense.

      Any doorway into a site is an advantage. Including xml sitemaps.

      BTW, xml sitemaps are still how video image thumbnails can be generated on Google SERPs in 2017.

      Even large authority sites like Pinterest use xml sitemaps to organize data (list below).

      Keep in mind Pinterest routinely hires ex Google employees and one of the founders (Ben Silbermann) is an ex Google employee. Pintrest even hired the head of Google Image Search (Li Fan - Linkedin profile). It's impossible to get better than that.
