Jonang Buddhism seems to be the best reconciliation of them from what I've seen. You can read about the ideas of one of its key thinkers here on his wiki page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolpopa_Sherab_Gyaltsen

>In line with the Buddha-nature teachings and the prevalent Yogacara-Madhyamaka synthesis, Dölpopa interpreted śūnyatā as twofold, distinguishing the conventional "emptiness of self-nature" (rangtong), and the ultimate "emptiness of other" (shentong), which is the clear nature of mind. Dölpopa taught that emptiness of self-nature applied only to relative truth, while emptiness of other is characteristic of ultimate truth, i.e. ultimate Reality is not empty of its own uncreated and deathless Truth, but only of what is impermanent and illusory.[10]

>Dölpopa employed the term 'Self' or 'Soul' (atman) to refer to the ultimate truth, that, according to him, lay at the heart of all being. In his Mountain Doctrine work, he refers to this essence as the "Great Self", "True Self", "Diamond Self", "Supreme Self", "Solid Self" and "Supreme Self of all Creatures", basing himself on specific utterances and doctrines of the Buddha in the Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, the Aṅgulimālīya Sūtra and the Śrīmālādevī Siṃhanāda Sūtra, amongst others[11] While most of his peers balk at such a term, there are still exponents of the Nyingma and Kagyu schools who are happy to see the heart of all beings as one unified, egoless Buddha-self.

The magnum opus work of Dolpopa, "The Mountain Doctrine" has been translated in its entirety to English by the respected Tibetologist Jeffrey Hopkins, you can order it on amazon and it's on lib-gen too.

>Obeisance and homage to the gurus, buddhas, and bodhisattvas. Homage to glorious vajrasattva. Homage to the matrix-of-one-gone-to-bliss, basis of purifying defilements. Homage to vajra yoga, path purifying defilements. Homage to the body of attributes, separative effect, the basis devoid of defilements. Obeisance initially to the foremost holy supreme gurus, Who, having thoroughly cleared away immeasurable thick darkness of heart, Spread widely the illumination of reality, With even subtle portions of the light of their speech. Having bowed to that which, though isolated from all phenomena, is the body of uncontaminated, innumerable attributes, Though devoid of a self of phenomena and of persons, is thusness, self, and pure self,

>Though beyond all extremes of existence and non-existence, permanence and annihilation, resides as just permanent, stable, and everlasting, Though without the nature of all things, is the natural clear light, That which is to be known like a great treasure under one's own home, That which is.to be practiced like making effort at methods to get it, And that which is to be attained like accomplishing all aims upon getting it
I will reveal in accordance with pure scriptures like one with the divine eye revealing it. And having made homage to form bodies, endowed with resultant qualities of fruition, Born from collections of merit arisen from a conqueror's good seed, I will write in accordance with scriptures also about how sages bodies of communication are grown like growing· a great tree with overflowing supreme fruits.
