Comment (by maxakohler):

 I ran into a similar issue today (on WordPress 5.8.2), and I think it
 might be what happened to OP. Steps to reproduce:

 1. Create a new post
 2. Create a new gallery block, and upload a bunch of images to it.
 3. Save the post
 4. ''Then'' go into the media library and add alt texts to the images you
 just uploaded.

 You might expect those alt texts to automatically appear in the post we
 created earlier, but they don't. Instead you need to:

 1. Edit the post
 2. Click on each image in the gallery, and re-add it from the media
 library.
 3. Save the post

 Now the alt texts appear on the front end as expected.

 I'm not sure if this even qualifies as a bug, I just thought I'd add my
 experience.
