You might try:

:g/\%^\|\n\@<=\s*\n/,/\n\n\|\%$/j

This one is much simpler!!
   :g/\S/,'}j

It also works better at EOF (no additional empty lines needed!)

I'd first make all blank lines empty:
   :%s/^\s\+$//e

... because :'} skips blank but non-empty lines.


It doesn't leave a blank space between each paragraph, but since each
paragraph is pulled into its own line, you can easily post-process them
back in:

:%s/$/\r

(that may add an extra at the bottom...a small price of clean-up to pay)

or not:
   :%s/\%$\@!$/\r

another version (this adds an empty line at EOF):
   :g/^/put _
