Comment (by westonruter):

 The [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/9772 PR] looks
 good.

 I do have a question on whether the new filter is needed, however.
 Originally it was proposed as a way to fix the problem if the SQL query
 wasn't optimized. But the optimization with `UNION ALL` is applied. So is
 the filter still needed?
