No idea if this helps, but I recently had to get a CPTs ACF metafields displayed in an ACF Block. This is what I put in the blocks template:

$eventdate = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'client_event_date', true );
$eventstarttime = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'client_event_starting_time', true );
$eventendtime = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'client_event_ending_time', true );
$eventtype = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'client_event_type', true );

if( $eventdate ) {
	$eventdate = strftime('%A, %d. %B %Y', strtotime($eventdate));
	
	echo '<div class="eventdate"><h4>';
    echo $eventdate;
	if ( $eventstarttime ) { 
		$eventstarttime = strftime('%R', strtotime($eventstarttime));
		echo ', from ' . $eventstarttime;}
	if ( $eventendtime ) { 
		$eventendtime = strftime('%R', strtotime($eventendtime));
		echo ' to ' . $eventendtime; }
		echo '</h4></div>';
	if ( $eventtype ) {
		
	}
} ?>

Note that this is obviously rendered identically in the editor as on the frontend – which is the reason I’m browsing these forums, trying to find a way to reliably change a Blocks output when in the Block editor 🙂
