Description
Hi, when I'm in edit mode of ACF block, styles preview in block toolbar and the sidebar shows the block appearance in edit mode as well.
I think it makes no sense (styles usually are not applied to ACF fields but the front-end) and seems to be performance heavy (it renders the whole fields infrastructure within those thumbnails).
Could it be avoided? I think we should preview the block in visual mode in those places. Or even nothing is better than that bunch of fields...

Research direction
Start by tracing how ACF block previews are rendered in the block toolbar and sidebar while editing, then identify the entry point that supplies the edit-mode fields to those thumbnails. Done means those previews show the block visually without rendering the ACF fields, or are omitted, while the normal edit view remains unchanged.
