Comment (by afercia):

 We faced a similar issue in core a few years ago, see
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/32509

 So yes, any CSS property that alters text spacing / breaking may affect
 screen readers. Suggest to theck CSS properties inherited by visually
 hidden text and reset the offending one.

 Also: question: is Twenty Twenty using the same `screen-reader-text` CSS
 ruleset used in core? It should.
