Comment (by jorbin):

 Confirmed using @SirLouen's tests that this is caused by [59801] so cc
 @peterwilsoncc, @audrasjb, @danielbachhuber, @joemcgill, @johnbillion,
 @jorbin (it's a me!), @mamaduka, @rmccue who all worked on that along with
 @spacedmonkey and @TimothyBlynJacobs who worked on
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/68970 the related GB PR]

 It should absolutely be fixed in 6.8.1, even if that means reverting
 [59801] which I would like to avoid if possible.

 RE: The two proposed solutions -

 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/8713 - I don't think
 this is feasible since it will cause sticky posts to need to be explictly
 requested which is a change in behavior (it's a bit concerning that no
 tests failed though)

 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/8730 - Something along
 these lines makes sense to me, though I would like for each of them to
 have some sort of test. I also think that this should use the WP_Query
 params, not the rest API version.
