The following is part of JSON formatting in a SP List that turns rows red if field LookupFieldX is empty:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/view-formatting.schema.json",
  "additionalRowClass": "=if(length([$LookupFieldX.lookupValue])==0,'ms-bgColor-red','ms-bgColor-white'))))+ ' ms-fontColor-black'"
}

How do I extend the JSON so the empty field displays "TBD" in addition to the entire row being red? As you know, column formatting does not work for this because it is a lookup field.

Lookup field supports JSON column formatting, see Supported column types.

For your requirements, use this JSON:

{
   "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
   "elmType": "div",
   "txtContent": "=if(@currentField.lookupValue, @currentField.lookupValue, 'TBD')"
}
