I'm also seeing this error when I perform an isEmpty() call in a custom post-update hook.

e.g.

foreach ($nodes as $node) {
    if ($node->field_my_der->isEmpty()) {
      $node->field_my_der->setValue([
        'target_id' => 123,
        'target_type' => 'taxonomy_term',
      ]);
      $node->save();
    }
  }

This code fails with the following errors:

>  [warning] Undefined property: Drupal\dynamic_entity_reference\Plugin\Field\FieldType\DynamicEntityReferenceItem::$entity DynamicEntityReferenceItem.php:495
>  [error]  Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\PluginNotFoundException: The "" entity type does not exist. in Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeManager->getDefinition() (line 139 of /var/www/html/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/EntityTypeManager.php).
