Describe the bug
When typing away in a paragraph block the UI no longer presents the inline + button to the left. This button is available in other circumstances, but not when the most recent, or bottom, block is a paragraph block. This presents an inconsistent experience and mean the user has to click elsewhere (out of the natural top-down flow) to add a new block.

Recording of the experience -> https://d.pr/v/RX7SaO

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create new post
  2. Start typing (add paragraph block)
  3. Note that the left/inline + button doesn't appear when hovering below the current paragraph block

Expected behavior
Expected the inline + button to appear when hovering below the current paragraph block.

@jwold mentioned that this behaviour was in response to the + button being distracting when writing. However, I think this current solution introduces a new usability problem.

@designsimply @ocean90 Thanks for linking to the duplicates. I did look through the existing issues, but didn't spot them.
Happy to close this one if appropriate.

@RobStino if you want to add your thoughts to #10519 that'd be ace! Then we can consolidate the improvements to be made.
