Thank you for raising this, we did think of this concern. The fix you linked in the OP only applies to unicode bidirectional characters in `pre` and `code` blocks, either manually written as HTML or generated from ````` markdown fenced code blocks, so it should not be an issue with regular Hebrew or Arabic text in a composed post.
