 Thanks, I appreciate the help.

 I've thought about this over the last 48 hours. Let's put it in as even in
 a limited form `grid` and `flex` are very helpful for using the block
 editor to create interesting layouts. A complete lack of support may
 result in plugin authors enabling `unfiltered_html` for all users which is
 problematic in itself.
