I’m pretty convinced accelerating a counter weight towards the speed of light will allow a craft to propel without ejecting mass.
We aren’t there, however the physics is plausible.
The electrostatic method I have heard of in several contexts (Lorentz field propulsion for instance) though holding breath in anticipation of working model.

Reactionless drives[1] have been investigated in other ways. James Woodward[2] proposed something that at least hasn't yet been debunked.

So, if there's some efficient way to manipulate the fabric of spacetime then it would allow for a propulsion method that doesn't need the ejection of mass. Far fetched? Absolutely. Possible that it might be discovered, it's possible.
