Comment (by wildworks):

 Another intermediate solution is to simply remove the `required` attribute
 from the input element, so that:

 === **Case 1: When the multi-file uploader is enabled**

 The media uploader should continue to work as before in any environment,
 including the Envira Gallery plugin.

 === **Case 2: If the browser uploader is enabled and your browser has JS
 enabled**

 If no file is attached, [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/6b7adc0159731f2dc23719d52b1add89d1cd1703/src/js/_enqueues/admin/common.js#L1515-L1520
 the JS will disable the upload button], so the form will not be submitted.

 === **Case 3: If the browser uploader is enabled and your browser has JS
 disabled**

 In this case, the form will be submitted without attaching a file, but
 validation will be performed on the server side, and the message "No file
 was uploaded." will be displayed. Since cases where JS is disabled are
 rare these days, I think this case is acceptable.
