Just to clarify: are you aware of the :empty-lines, :empty-lines-before
and :empty-lines-after keys that you can set in org-capture-templates?
Are your questions about the default values of these keys?

I just tried a simple setup in emacs -Q with Org 9.4, namely:

(setq org-capture-templates
      '(("s" "simple" entry (file+headline "~/org/notes.org" "Foo")
      "* %?" :empty-lines 1)))

and Org seems to correctly respect the value of these keys when they are
specified explicitly. That is, with :empty-lines 0, no newlines are
added; with :empty-lines 1, a blank line appears on each side of the
captured entry; with :empty-lines-after 1, a blank line appears after,
but not before, the new entry; and so on.

Can you use these keys to get the behavior you are looking for? Or is
your question about something else?

Best,
Richard
