Well, there is a crazy trick that can work… and even more automatically than a paragraph style. Make a character style that does one thing: set the leading to zero. Now edit your paragraph style and give it a GREP Style that applies that character style. The grep code to use is simply \r (backslash r).

That will apply the character style to any paragraph that is empty (that is just a return character). And because the leading is zero, it will be as though the paragraph disappeared. (it will still be there, but it will take up no space.)
