Comment (by ryelle):

 One solution is to call `setLocaleData` in the JS that loads the block
 assets. We would also need the json translation content to pass in here
 for each JS file (probably generated on the WP.org side), and passed
 through the REST API. Then we could add something like this to the
 `loadScript` for each asset — assuming `url` is the URL to the respective
 json translation file, and that we have the text domain (also needed from
 the API).

 {{{
 const translations = await apiFetch( { url } );
 const localeData =
         translations.locale_data[ domain ] ||
         translations.locale_data.messages;
 localeData[ '' ].domain = domain;
 setLocaleData( localeData, domain );
 }}}

 I can work on a PR tomorrow morning (US), if this sounds like a path
 forward.
