To get around this, I made a private custom post type called Global Blocks. I create my custom “archive” then I get the blocks from that ID in a conditional for the CPT archive. I use a shortcode to do this, so in the conditional I just call that.

add_shortcode( 'global-block', 'global_blocks_shortcode' );
/** 
 * Global Blocks Shortcode
 * [global-block id="1234"]
 */
function global_blocks_shortcode( $atts ) {

	$output = $class = '';
	
	global $post;
	
	$atts = shortcode_atts( array( 
		'id'    => '',
	), $atts );
	
	$id = $atts['id'];
	
	if ( get_post_status( $id ) )  // check if ID exists
	
	if( $id ) : /////////////////////// check if ID is on the shortcode
		
	$content = get_post( $id ); 

	if ( has_blocks( $content->post_content ) ) :
    $blocks = parse_blocks( $content->post_content );
    foreach( $blocks as $block ) :
        $output .= do_shortcode( render_block( $block ) );
    endforeach;
	endif; 
					
	$status = get_post_status( $id );
	
		//don't output draft mode
		if ( $status != 'publish' ) :
			$output = '';
		endif;
		
	endif; //if $id; /////////////////
	
	return $output; 
		
}

Never got back to anyone.

Okay. Sorry about that.

Thanks all. I noticed when I played around that I cannot selectively choose whether or not to use Gutenburg on various CPTS, I can just click the entire site checkbox and that works. Here’s some notes referring classic-editor.php file in this plugin.

if (!defined('ABSPATH')) exit;

function disable_gutenberg_remove() {
	
	$gutenberg = function_exists('gutenberg_can_edit_post_type'); // I can only find this in the Gutenberg plugin
	
	$block_editor = has_action('enqueue_block_assets');
	
	if (!$gutenberg && $block_editor === false) return;
	
	if ($block_editor) {
		
		//add_filter('use_block_editor_for_post_type', '__return_false', 100, 2); // this doesn't work
		add_filter( 'use_block_editor_for_post_type', '__return_false' ); //this works
		
	}
	
// with WP 5.2.2 this doesn't work (I don't think it worked earlier, except with the plugin).
	if ($gutenberg) { 
		
		add_filter('gutenberg_can_edit_post_type', '__return_false', 100, 2);
		
		disable_gutenberg_hooks();
		
	}
	
}
