Comment (by westonruter):

 We should go ahead and implement the `dropdown-pages` control using the
 approach in that
 [https://gist.github.com/westonruter/00c351830e0a15cef7672b748720a7ff
 gist] and not wait for REST API integration because the approach using
 `wp_dropdown_pages()` will be better for back-compat. And at the very
 least, by using this template we'll cut down on at least half of the
 `wp_dropdown_pages()` calls for a given page load, because the template
 will then be re-used for both the controls for the homepage and posts
 page.
