Comment (by afercia):

 A while ago I did start some exploration but didn't have time to move on.

 [attachment:"29838.diff"] is to illustrate what I was exploring. Don't
 trust the code in the patch, don't commit it :) It's purely for
 exploration and maybe a good starting point.

 Most notably, the first things I explored are:
 - Remove the code meant to skip native tab stops from the post title to
 the post content.
 - Add a new function in `tinymce/plugins/wordpress/plugin.js` to make
 Shift + Tab move focus from the post content to the TinyMCE toolbar.
 - Remove `tabfocus_elements` from the TinyMCE config. See
 [https://www.tiny.cloud/docs-4x/plugins/tabfocus/#tabfocus_elements the
 TinyMCE documentation] for more details on what this config param is
 about.

 I was also experimenting with selection and scroll position but that was
 very experimental.
