Seems like it should be simple (the Stack Overflow catchphrase)
A taxonomy archive taxonomy-my-taxonomy.php, I’m using $terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'my-taxonomy'); to get the properties of the archive term.
Trouble is this is the post term(s) not the archive term.
It assumes that $post->ID exists, ie this taxonomy has posts. I would like to display the page with the various term properties even if it’s empty.
How?

Method 1
You could simply check if a post exists. Otherwise, you can get the currently viewed term:
// Check if we have posts to work with
if( ! have_posts() ) {
$term = get_queried_object(); // Get the current term
}
// Check if we have a term to work with
if( ! empty( $term ) ) {
echo $term->name; // Output term properties
}
Since you’re using this in a taxonomy template, get_queried_object() should return a WP_Term object.
