 In the description of that ticket I have another proposal of what using a
 custom post object could look like - looking at that code snippet now, it
 is not error-free, but I think it gives an idea of the approach (I'll
 probably create an updated version this or next week). I think being able
 to filter the name of the class and then create the instance based on that
 name would be an alternative solution to
 think about.

 100% agree. The only reason I have been following this ticket and looking
 for a solution was exactly that. I wanted to replace the WP_Post object
 with a custom one.

 Can this be done with a simple filter just before the instantiation of the
 Post object?

 IE

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $object_name = apply_filters( 'WP_Post', $post_row );

 $post = new $object_name( $post_row );
 }}}


 That could be a super simple fix for this and allow a per item object
 replacement (based on post type, status etc).

 I haven't read all the responses here but that 100% would solve my & a lot
 of others needs with a simple non breaking change.
