@brett I did something similar for an ACF block where I wanted to automatically show child pages, I set a var using $page_id = get_queried_object_id(); and used that var to set the post parent:

    $page_id = get_queried_object_id();
      $args = array(
          'post_type'      => 'page',
          'posts_per_page' => -1,
          'post_parent'    =>  $page_id,
          'order'          => 'ASC',
          'orderby'        => 'menu_order'
       );
      $parent = new WP_Query( $args );
      if ( $parent->have_posts() ) : ?>

This worked on the front end. Unfortunately for me this caused an issue in the WordPress admin – in WordPress admin screen all top level pages were showing. The slowed down my editing experience immensley so I instead opted to set the query using a tag instead of post parent.
