 Is it actually any cheaper to send a 0-byte UDP packet than to send one
that is sized at the MTU?


It depends on how you define "cheaper".

A 1-byte UDP packet will take less time to transmit and use fewer resources
than a 1300-byte UDP packet, but an 1300-byte UDP will transmit 1300 bytes
faster and use fewer resources than 1300 1-byte UDP packets.
