Comment:

 While I wasn't able to find anything saying when it was implemented,
 Safari has supported sequential focus navigation starting points since at
 least as recently as Feb 2020. (See https://sarahmhigley.com/writing
 /focus-navigation-start-point/)

 Tested today and confirmed.

 Also as of 5.8, we're eliminating IE11 as a required support browser for
 WordPress.

 With no remaining browsers supported that don't support this
 characteristic, I'm not sure this is something we still need to handle in
 this situation. When it comes to large page updates or complex refreshes,
 we'll still want to make sure to check over focus handling; but this
 specific case seems well handled by browsers at this point.

 This specific case works well with at least a quick spot check of AT: NVDA
 + Chrome and VoiceOver + Safari.

 Closing as fixed based on having been fixed upstream.
