Looks like this no longer works since ACF 6.0? I added the following as a workaround, but not sure how reliable this is going forward.
add_filter(
'acf/pre_save_block',
function( $attributes ) {
if ( empty( $attributes['id'] ) ) {
$attributes['id'] = 'block_acf-block-' . uniqid();
}
return $attributes;
}
);
