Found one more issue that other people might find helpful. The Basic File uploader fails validation if it is a required field. To solve this I hook into “acf/validate_field” like this (let me know if there is a better way):
jQuery(document).on('acf/validate_field', function( e, field ){
var $field = jQuery(field);
if( $field.find('input[type="file"]').exists() ) {
$field.data('validation', true);
if( $field.find('input[type="file"]').val() == '' ) {
$field.data('validation', false);
}
}
});
