Is it okay to return item-not-found for a MAM query if the archive is completely empty?

Or doesn't exist, in case there's a difference from empty.

If the UID contained within an <after> or <before> element is not present in the archive, the server MUST return an item-not-found error in response to the query.

this is pretty clear for me

but you talk about the case when we set no after because its the first ever query?

my gut tells me, dont do it

i doubt a client is interested in this distinction

i would say if i dont specify a specific UID im never interested in an item-not-found
