Let us know how it goes. You'll probably want to remove the _contents_ of clusterstate.json and just leave it as a pair of brackets , i.e. {} if for no other reason than it's confusing.
Times past the node needed to be there even if empty. Although I just tried removing it completely on 6x and I was able to start Solr, part of the startup process recreates it as an empty node, just a pair of braces.
