Comment (by joyously):

 Is this ticket reporting a problem with the capability check for embeds or
 is it proposing a new capability? Or maybe both.

 It seems to me that the existing capability check assumes a post context,
 which your use case has a problem with. Would putting a filter on that
 capability check work? Are there other places where embeds might be
 wanted, but checking `edit_posts` wouldn't work? Like comments or custom
 widgets?

 Is it just embeds that has this problem? I've seen some other discussions
 about other places where core checks for a capability that doesn't work in
 all contexts. ''(I also have a use case for custom role with custom post
 type created with a custom editor, and I don't want the user to
 `edit_posts`. This seems likely to be common for sites with user-created
 content.)''
