IE11 legacy sites configured in Enterprise site list still try to open in Edge Chromium
craighZA Hello! I believe the IE mode team made a change starting with Microsoft Edge Canary Channel build 88.0.698.0 that should fix the issue with the "leftover" open tab in MS Edge.
Would you be able to test with V88? Currently it has been released to the Beta Channel and coming later this month to the Stable Channel. Microsoft Edge release schedule | Microsoft Docs
Thanks!

Hello craighZA
did you try to set the IE11 legacy sites with the app="true" attribute in your Enterprise site list according to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode-sitelist ?
Works well in our environment on Win 8.1 and Win 10 clients.
<site url="website.com">
<compat-mode>Default</compat-mode>
<open-in app="true">IE11</open-in>
</site>
Thanks Neon01, I've tested your suggestion but the problem still persists. Maybe something I should have mentioned in the initial post - when accessing these legacy pages directly in IE11, the page opens up perfectly fine without Edge Chromium opening. The problem only occurs when clicking a shortcut or hyperlink of the legacy url - in which case, both Chromium Edge and IE11 open with the Chromium Edge tab displaying a blank page and IE11 opening the page successfully.
