Comment:

 In keeping with the discussion in #63548, a good fallback for the "no site
 title, no alt text" case would be the domain name, using the same logic
 that's used in the admin bar.

 I think that's the only part of this ticket that's actionable here; adding
 an alt text input to the Site Logo block is something that needs to be
 done in the Gutenberg repository. This already has an open issue:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/37104.

 We can definitely still improve the fallback text, however, and I'll leave
 this issue open to address that.
