Yes, please make #f and '() distinct.

I am confused by Rozas' arguments.  Can one really use any object one
damn well pleases as the empty list?  I thought implementations were
constrained to use a unique object, which could be #f but could not be
#t, 0, etc.  Given this strong constraint, it seems we might as well
distinguish '() from #f.  Unless someone wishes to argue that this
remaining ambiguity is inherently useful...
