I feel like I’ve heard that story about Michizane somewhere before, but I can’t think of where.
I wonder if he left behind any spiteful literature after his banishment.

It's a pretty famous story actually, so you may have heard it elsewhere in any number of places.
I've never read of any spiteful writings from him. If he wrote his anger in a journal he must have destroyed it. His primary writing while in exile was poetry, with many of them about his beloved ume blossoms and his sadness at never being able to see the blossoms at his home in kyoto ever again.
