Comment (by azaozz):

 What's the way forward here, can we skip blocks that have nested blocks?
 Or perhaps have a whitelist for what blocks can be nested?

 Ideally we are looking for some text that is relevant to the post content.
 If no text is found, we can perhaps use an image. But some posts may not
 have either (a gallery post?). In these edge cases it would be acceptable
 to have an empty excerpt imho.

 Dynamic blocks may not be appropriate for use in excerpts too. Skipping
 over them and trying to find an actual paragraph would probably be better.
