I think the conclusion here is that (as in most programming modes),
filling isn't really implemented at all -- using the filling commands in
most programming modes won't fill according to the syntax rules of the
language.

So this just isn't something we support (until somebody does filling
based on LSP/tree-sitter), so I'm closing this bug report.
