Problem/Motivation

Follow-up from #2859197: Document that block_content entities are not designed to be displayed outside of blocks. Rendering of custom blocks doesn't work outside the blocks system, but we allow custom block entity reference fields which means this can happen purely via the UI.

Given that users (ourselves included) have been doing this for 5+ years and have now-ancient business processes built around it, I think it's a little bit late to simply decide that it's no longer allowed.

Berdir brings up the point of performance in #2704331. I'd like to drill down and quantify those concerns in more detail.

Version: 9.5.x-dev » 10.1.x-dev

Drupal 9.5.0-beta2 and Drupal 10.0.0-beta2 were released on September 29, 2022, which means new developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 10.1.x-dev branch. For more information see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.

Version: 10.1.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
