Comment:

 Going to take a look at this one.

 Creating a new instance would break #45677. Perhaps we should introduce
 something like `WP_Post_Type::get_rest_controller()` to ensure only one
 instance of a post type controller is created? It would also consolidate
 checking whether the class exists and falling back.
