Description
As the latest changes in 6.2.1 single, shortcodes might be slowly deprecated. Currently, shortcodes are the only way (that I'm aware of) for adding inline dynamic data (such as ACF field value) to block templates. I believe it is an essential functionality, that if deprecated, together with shortcodes, would leave a big functional gap.
If the intention is indeed to eventually deprecate shortcodes, I believe an alternative for adding inline dynamic data should be introduced before it happens.

A more specific aspect that might be considered is shortcodes inside block attributes. For example, I use a Yoast FAQ block and ACF fields in a Single Product block template. Yoast puts the question and answers (that is, the ACF shortcodes) in the block attributes. These shortcodes are never parsed, and custom code is required to do so. (Or creating my own custom FAQ block, which feels redundant).
If templates aren't fully dynamic, they are kind of missing their purpose.
