A node is an arbitrary container object containing one or more of:

It does not have to contain memory.

I have never seen a node on Linux without memory. I have seen nodes without processors and without I/O but not without memory.This seems to be something new?

A node was always defined that way. Search back a few years in the lkml
archives. We may be finding bugs in the implementation, but the
definition has not changed.

Supposing we hot-unplugged all the memory in a node? Or seems to have
happened in this instance is boot with mem=, cutting out memory on that
node.
