Follow up to my own question. I’ve got this working as desired, but I want to post my code below in case it’s useful to anyone, and to make sure I’m doing this right.

function sk_acf_update_pocket_postdata( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
	global $_POST;
	
	$pocket_name_fields = get_field('pocket_name', $post_id)[0];
  
	$head_brand = $pocket_name_fields['head_brand'];
	$head_name = $pocket_name_fields['head_name'];
  
	$pocket_title = $head_brand . ' ' . $head_name . ' ' . $value;
	$pocket_slug = sanitize_title( $pocket_title );
  
  $pocket_postdata = array(
    'ID'          => $post_id,
    'post_title'  => $pocket_title,
	  'post_name'   => $pocket_slug
  );
  
  wp_update_post( $pocket_postdata );
	
	return $value;
	
}

add_filter('acf/update_value/key=field_53f7a5369c2ab', 'sk_acf_update_pocket_postdata', 10, 3);

I changed the field key I’m hooking into to the last sub field in the repeater. If I used the other two, it would only rewrite the title and slug after hitting update for a second time.

Still seems a little strange and inelegant, but it’s working. I welcome feedback of any kind.

BTW, thanks @Elliot for building and maintaining such an incredible tool. It has completely changed how I work.
