Do Thralls go poof or melt away when they are destroyed?
Or do they leave behind bodies?
"they are not minions with the summoned trait."
That sentence suggests they would leave behind bodies.
"Thrall Enhancement You can still make use of a destroyed thrall’s flesh. Whenever one of your thralls is destroyed, you can cause the thrall to leave behind difficult terrain in the space they were destroyed. The difficult terrain lasts for 10 minutes."
That paragraph implies that without this particular Thrall Enhancement, you can't pile enough Thrall bodies in a square to make it into Difficult Terrain.
Or maybe it's still possible,just harder to do.

I think it's just that zombies have more to leave behind that creates difficult terrain compared to spirits and skeletons?

Typically medium bodies also don't make difficult terrain, with room for GM adjudication say if you're holding a doorway against a horde and it's reasonably become clogged or topple some larger creature. (I almost always do it with Huge or larger creatures.) Apparently zombie thralls are squishy & chunky enough they make difficult terrain, but not so much as to be slippery. And it decays(?) in ten minutes.
Given shared metaphysics, the others should leave detritus too. I think one would have to pile up a lot of corpses from the other thrall types to hinder movement because they have less substance than normal creatures. I'd say too unreasonable an amount to expect in an encounter except Necromancers can spam them so fast that sure, it might occur.
