Hi, thanks for pointing to acf_maybe_get_POST()! As I don’t want to edit core files, I wrote a helper which works for me so far within the block template:

function my_acf_post_id() {
	if ( is_admin() && function_exists( 'acf_maybe_get_POST' ) ) :
		return intval( acf_maybe_get_POST( 'post_id' ) );
	else :
		global $post;
		return $post->ID;
	endif;
}

Definitely, I agree that a block instance should contain the post ID or it should be accessible in another elegant way.
