https://indieblocks.xyz, too, got hit by WordPress 6.2.1 breaking shortcodes in block theme templates. The “fix,” for me, was really easy: convert the offending Shortcode blocks to Template Parts (two clicks, literally). Of course, I use only two instances of the Shortcode block this way; I’d make them into dynamic, “theme” blocks, but really, it’s not worth it.

Just switched my other blog to Brian Garnder’s Powder theme, and guess what? All microformats still in place! Only thing I had to do was hop in there and enable the post date block to always link to single articles. (Because note titles are hidden, so are the permalinks inside the heading elements.) Had to do that 3 or 4 times, but I can live with that. Another minor gripe: the “Tags:” and “Categories:” prefixes that are shown even when there are no tags and categories.

Yes! My IndieBlocks plugin is now up on WP.org. Current version offers a single “Context” block, and, optionally, (1) some custom post types, and (2) the ability to add microformats2 to block-based (!) themes. More is on the way. https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieblocks/

Tested it on a nearly empty site with the Blockbase theme, and things like an h-entry’s post type and very basic h-card information is being picked up fine.

That explains! (I’ve been experiencing some issues with child themes, and was looking for a way to instead use the Site Editor only.)

[D]evelopers and users are expecting to be able to create this type of template in the new Site Editor. This is a reasonable expectation. Unfortunately, the feature is not complete yet and not included in WordPress 6.0.

More FSE fun! Once a block theme is active, the “old” Customizer is notoriously hard to find.

Got to experience this first-hand because the default Twenty Twenty-Two theme does not style “Classic Block” blockquotes the way it styles “Quote Block” blockquotes, and I needed to add a bit of CSS somewhere to get that fixed.
