 * WordPress Core has a bug in the use_block_editor_for_post filter.

 *
 * This bug can lead to Gutenberg Editor being loaded for posts of
 * types that do not support the editor, resulting in a JavaScript error
 * and a white screen. This will happen when using the filter in the
 * following way:
 *
 * add_filter( 'use_block_editor_for_post', '__return_true' );
 *
 * Here we add a check to the filter so that this is averted.
 *
 * Note that use_block_editor_for_post_type filter does not have this problem
 * and that the function that calls the filter does a similar check.
 *
 * WordPress Core Trac ticket with ways to replicate and a proposed patch
 * can be found here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/52363
