Comment:

 IMO this is neither invalid nor a support issue. Rather, this is a feature
 of the design of shortcodes (or a deficiency, depending on how you look at
 it). I hope we can do a better job of addressing this in the
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg block-based editor project] by
 ensuring that blocks are "serialized" to semantically meaningful HTML
 during rendering.

 In the meantime I would suggest providing enough information in your
 rendered shortcodes to reconstruct the intended functionality, perhaps
 along with a `register_rest_field` or two for extra information.
