No.. you cannot adding some FX if shape no fill in color panel properties, color fill still there at color panel even choose erase blend mode, if removing color in color panel the FX layer doesn't work, no color from blue shape layer at the middle when using erase blend mode with FX outline, alignment: inside, fill type: contour, Gradient: white left side, opposite is transparent, I think erase feature in blend mode is failed, try for your self. sorry if my english not so well, many thanks for reply & your concern.

I would like to have just the effects only applied to a shape/path i.e. no fill and no stroke. We can do that in Adobe illustrator but I've not figured out how to do it in Affinity Designer https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/apply-effects-on-no-fill-no-stroke/td-p/9024119?page=1

1. It will be nice added "OFFSET" tool & panel just like on AutoCAD and Adobe illustrator have this. 2. I think more Greater than before if Programmer Staff added tools like on http://astutegraphics.com. 3. And will perfectly if Lasso Tool, Polygonal Lasso Tool, Magnetic Lasso Tool added to Affinity Designer in Pixel Persona Tools. 4. Make all any panel on studio panel list resizeble or make it "iconize" look like Adobe illustrator to make more space for drawing area, and fix or Adding scroll for right side panel, if i'm try to embed "Constraints" to the right tab panel at the bottom standard panel it wouldn't appear because it can't embed to the right side panel at the bottom. 5. Add "Stroke Effect" embed to effect tab like on PhotoShop & add stroke effect with Gradient Editor. Example at 0:26 second : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Warkrzej98 6. Add more complex Gradient Editor like Adobe PhotoShop have with Structure and fill type. Example at 0:32 second : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Warkrzej98 7. Make convert Path to Selection or Selection to Path and Phat to Shape or Shape to Path & create panel for Paths so when path double click it will convert became selection if push Ctrl + double click like on Adobe PhotoShop , embed in Pixel Persona. Example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQQsZ7aLg40 8. Add Filter Affinity Photo to Affinity Designer at Pixel Persona for add filter cloud / perlin noise inside shape object as overlay, cause Adobe illustrator added filter same as Adobe PhotoShop filter. 9. In this case I want to create UI design or Interface for games or web design but with vector, so far people always make it in Adobe Photoshop not in Adobe illustrator / vector editor 10. Sorry for bad grammar.
