Comment (by manhar):

 Tested on WordPress 7.1-alpha-62161-src. Navigated to Media → Library,
 opened an attachment, and confirmed the "Download file" link in the
 sidebar works correctly with esc_url().

 The href renders as a valid, normalized URL and the file downloads as
 expected. No regressions observed.

 Patch looks good.
