Comment (by sabernhardt):

 Using a pseudo-element can make the Events widget pass automated contrast
 testing and remove the `|` characters. However, it is quite elaborate just
 for one dashboard widget.

 I originally created a proof of concept with a `.subsubsub` list like PR
 8929, but I switched back to the paragraph. I'm not sure I like how that
 would center links on smaller screens, with a larger font size
 ([https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/c726220a21d13fdb5409372b652c9460c59ce1db/src/wp-
 admin/css/common.css#L4026-L4027 see common.css]). On the other hand, the
 pseudo-element could be more valuable with `.subsubsub` lists (in the
 Activity widget footer and at the top of list table screens) than with the
 Events widget.
