Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 +1 to `43701.2.diff` although I think it needs a refresh.

 I grepped core to see if there was prior art for this exact conditional,
 but I wasn't able to find an example. However, with this being said, the
 visibility of a Post is also asserted with
 `WP_REST_Posts_Controller->check_read_permission()`, so I feel reasonably
 confident in this change.
