Thanks for updating the docs for this! This is reading well for me and matches the discussions in #49784 and #55182.

Just left a couple of tiny comments related to numbering of the lists, but otherwise LGTM! ✨

Looks great to me and I think this is the right place for this note. It's for Gutenberg maintainers working with the private-apis package and not for folks just looking for usage examples in handbook. Thank you!

Perhaps this could also be documented in the release checklist at https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/about/release-cycle/block-editor-release-process-for-major-releases/?

I'll add something to the private APIs section of the page.

Am I correct in thinking the page is managed directly in the handbook rather than via a markdown to HTML converter?
