Comment (by lanacodes):

 I would also like to draw everyone's attention here, as I have practical
 experience of what this vulnerability can cause:
 **This vulnerability in block templates makes vulnerabilities in
 shortcodes unuath vulnerabilities, which can be very serious.**

 I alone have reported more than 400 shortcode stored XSS vulnerabilities
 in plugins. Among them in plugins with 100k+ and 1M+ and 3M+ active
 installs.
 Obviously, users should update these plugins.

 **Don't share code that enables shortcodes in block templates.**
 **Don't make it possible to enable the shortcode in the block templates in
 the settings.**
