Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 In the [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/1391 linked
 pull request]:

 * always use `get_userdata()` within `is_super_admin()` following #28020
 * it still needs unit tests, I couldn't get them to loop in multisite
 prior to the patch being applied using the filter above
 * manual tests suggest the patch works but I'd rather not risk a merge
 without tests
