Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 As [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/CULBN711P/p1636420391132300 I
 mentioned in Slack], I think it's best if these changes are reverted as my
 continued experience is that they are making updates more likely to fail.

 It's always in the
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51857#comment:128 same manner as
 described in my original comment] in September.

 Given this, I've come to the conclusion that the following commits need to
 be reverted and the reliability improvements added in a subsequent
 release:

 * [51815]
 * [51898]
 * [51899]
 * [51902]

 ** @SergeyBiryukov as you committed this, can you please comment with
 either a verification or amendment to this list **

 As there is only one chance to get updater fixes right, I'd like to see
 this reworked and tested for the next major rather than risk breaking the
 feature.
