Comment:

 Ugh, bummer that this was missed :-(

 Not sure how the block installation currently works, but here are my two
 cents:

 First of all, the translations should get installed together with the
 block (if not already the case). The text domain should be known at that
 point (part of block.json, equals the plugin slug, etc.)

 Second, we should not fetch the JSON file directly as it prevents
 legitimate use cases where the JSON  translations are filtered by
 developers - see `load_script_translations` and the
 `pre_load_script_translations` and `load_script_translation_file` filters.

 So we indeed need to go through the REST API, ideally via a `GET /wp/v2
 /script-translations?handle=foo&locale=es_ES` route that calls
 `WP_Scripts::get_translations` (like `WP_Scripts::print_translations` but
 without the printing) which calls `load_script_textdomain` with the right
 arguments.
