Comment:

 Now that all widgets are blocks and this widget has been ported to the
 Latest Posts block, I'm going to close this one out as this is now
 something that should be added to that block.

 There [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/9013 is an issue
 upstream to continue discussion].

 If someone feels strongly that this should be added to the classic widget,
 this can be reopened with a refreshed patch.

 > Why not simply put in a drop-down <select> of available post types in
 the main widget class? Then, add a either a filter hook for post types to
 opt-in or an argument for register_post_type()?

 I think I prefer this approach, but I don't think it needs to be opt-in.
 As long as the default value is `post` then sites that added the widget
 before this was introduced should continue to work as they always have.
