I’m having issues as well with multiple block categories and registering blocks to those categories. Whereas selecting multiple areas (CPT’s in this case), only one category is displaying at a time. And only one grouping of blocks will show (whichever is written first). The other I’m getting the Your site doesn't include support for 'acf/... block error. Not sure what the issue is there…

At any rate, with your situation, you may want to attempt to merge the $categories and $welcoop_blocks arrays. Perhaps something like this may work for you:

function ff_block_category( $categories, $post ) {

	if ( $post->post_type == 'page' ) { 

		$welcoop_blocks = array_merge(
			$categories,
			array(
				array(
					'slug' => 'headers',
					'title' => __( 'WELCOOP Headers', 'mlp-admin' ),
				)
			)
		);

	} else {

		return $categories;

	}

	return $welcoop_blocks;
}
add_filter( 'block_categories', 'ff_block_category', 10, 2);

Hopefully that helps.
