Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 #56689 also changed a function from using an SQL query to a wrapper for
 `WP_Query`. It was since reverted as it could cause an infinite loop if
 the function was called on a hook fired in `WP_Query`.

 A similar risk exists for converting this function to a `WP_Query`
 wrapper, so my inclination is to wait until early in the 6.3 cycle before
 making this change. It seems these changes are riskier than first thought,
 so the `early` tag is appropriate.
