 I've always been fine with the work-arounds, and most likely would not
 update my network-only plugins to maintain both approaches to cover the
 supported WP version spread.

 New plugins, I could see `admin-ajax.php` being desirable in situations
 where a whole new REST route may not be.

 I think we should add support for user admin at the same time we do
 network admin here, or create a new ticket and cross-reference them in
 back-to-back'ish commits.
