1 year ago I added an init_empty argument to the repeater field to achieve what you want to do. The caveat is there will be no accordions to display on the first run. It'll be up to your users to click the "Add" button to add the first item. I also fixed a save issue using the repeater in the metaboxes. Deleting them all and save would not update the database. That, too, should be resolved.
You'll have to download the 4.4.1.5 beta from this repo to get those updates.
Also, I must strongly advise NOT embedding Redux in your theme unless you plan to update that code often. That ability was kept for backward compatibility with v3. On average, we do an update every month, sometimes two. If you plan to sell on ThemeForest, they will reject your theme outright for embedding Redux.
Good luck.

Any Error Details (PHP/JavaScript)
I am not sure what logs would help you all here but I can provide you with any should you need to understand the issue. I observe it happening all over the site, I am using 4.3.24 version of the redux framework and also enabled the dev mode on the site to figure out what may be the issue. To better help understand it, I have created a short demo of the problem which you can access here - https://www.kapwing.com/videos/6486016dbaa446001d166ed5
If you feel that this is not a BUG but maybe an issue from my side, I've also created a SO post for the same issue so that we can continue the discussion over there instead of here.
