I'm in the process of an emergency entry. I'm thinking mid-may but that's still in the air for now.

Has anyone gone through the process of coming into HCMC recently? Any insider tips or ideas on the length that quarantine will be? Also, I will be vaccinated and I am not sure if that makes a difference.

Even with a TRC, you'll still need to be sponsored by an approved company or agency who will certify that you're essential to their business.

Then you'll probably be able to enter without problem. You'll still need to be quarantined, although it'll be a shorter term with a vaccination certificate.

I did in November. Vaccine or not you are quarantining its 14 days and location will depend on where your official company is registered who is sponsoring you. You will not quarantine in HCMC if your sponsor is in Danang. The process takes a few months to get approved for anyone.
Just in case, bring snacks, @ mine the food was awful. luckily someone delivered food to me and paid the workers to give it to me.

Nobody knows that far ahead of time.
