 > I just want to thumbs up this request (not exactly sure what the trac-
 approved way to add support to a request is). This issue stopped me in my
 tracks when writing something to replace a specific block upon render.

 I've coded a workaround which uses `render_block_data` to render all child
 blocks recursively with `render_block`:
 https://gist.github.com/gaambo/16c7fb6fd758e4eb72e0f5db3888dd40

 Works up to WordPress 5.7, haven't tested with 5.8 - if you notice any
 errors/bugs feel free to comment under the gist.
