Comment (by sierkb):

 Any progress in this issue?

 If using MySQL 8.0, would an explicit
 define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4');
 define('DB_COLLATE', 'utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci');
 in wp-config.php be usefull right now?

 If using MySQL 5.7.x, what should be used instead?
 What are the defaults in WordPress as of today?
 define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); ?
 define('DB_COLLATE', 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci'); ?
