Comment (by sabernhardt):

 The 'What We Do' pattern fits headings and paragraphs instead of
 `blockquote` and `cite` elements. I would add the content as H3 headings
 and paragraphs inside either Group or Cover blocks. The Cover block gives
 the extra height, but then at least the block with the light background
 needs the dark text color assigned to the heading and paragraph (I would
 add text colors to all of the inner blocks for consistency). Also, the
 screen captures on #51099 show that Pullquote blocks were not centered
 five years ago.

 Blocks in the patterns //should// be compatible with older WordPress
 versions—back to 5.5—to avoid invalid content errors for those who update
 only the theme. Then the Quote block would not have a nested Paragraph
 block, which began in 6.1.

 For Twenty Ten's Quote block, I want to suggest adding `is-style-large is-
 style-plain` to the additional classes. The Large style is deprecated now,
 so the theme's `blocks.css` and `editor-blocks.css` stylesheets would need
 to define the CSS:
 {{{
 .wp-block-quote.is-style-large p,
 .wp-block-quote.is-large p {
         font-size: 1.5em;
         line-height: 1.3;
 }
 }}}
 The values above blend two styles, and anyone using the latest WordPress
 can change the paragraph font size as desired. (The solid-color Pullquote
 currently sets the paragraph size at 2em with 1.3 line-height; the Large
 Quote style set the paragraph to 1.5em with 1.6 line-height in WordPress
 5.6 and 5.8.)

 Then again, the Pullquote version of Twenty Ten's pattern was not good
 with WordPress 5.5 (black text against the black Cover overlay).
