This seems to work well in my testing! I created an archive page template, added this block to the template, and it's showing up as expected on the front end. 👍

Editor:

Front End:

I think that we need to match the title and description - I mean that if it is decided that the term/category/tag description block is not a block for the query, but stand-alone, then the title needs to be the same, and their block names should match too.

Query Title will have other variations with at least a Search Title. At the relevant discussion here there are opinions that a Query description wouldn't make any sense besides the terms description. If that's the case, I think it's okay to have a Query Title and a Terms Description as separate blocks, without the need to have matching names.

Once I started testing the block I still found it confusing that I could place the block anywhere in the editor, but on the front it only displayed on archive pages.

I am struggling with how a user can understand how this block works if it is not a child block of the query, because the editor and front will not match.

Can there be a warning instead of a placeholder, on pages that are not archives? For example in the regular post editor.

Ideally, FSE blocks will only be available in the site-editor. I think I've seen a ticket for that somewhere but can't find it right now... AFAIK that is the plan and these blocks will not be available in the post-editor.

I understand what you're saying but this is a more complex problem with context detection that hasn't been solved yet. So I agree with you and Ari about:

but this will be handled later..

For now we can probably have a better description to indicate its behavior and I have no strong opinion on making it available only in Query block. Whatever we decide should have the same direction with the description block.

I think it is the opposite, but it is not decided which blocks yet:
