 > What do you think about using
 [https://wordpress.github.io/gutenberg/?path=/docs/components-
 comboboxcontrol--default ComboboxControl] as an autocomplete?

 Yep, this looks really good imho, and meets the accessibility requirements
 I think.

 > ...then swapped the data on the fly

 Think one of the features of the ComboboxControl is that the (previously
 used) data is stored locally and can be reused by all instances. So
 perhaps the drop-down part of all instances can be updated with the
 new(er) entries after every search (still need to experiment with how that
 would "feel" but think it would be nicer than showing some default data
 everywhere).
