Comment (by afercia):

 I'm attaching an animated GIF to better illustrate the `role="alert"`
 approach doesn't work even when setting focus on the alert (because of the
 too large DOM update). Tested with Firefox and NVDA. Focus on the NVDA
 speech viewer, where it's clear the alert isn't announced automatically.
