I think it's clear and with the updated images, it's up to date. Just check if the very complicated long urls of the images are really needed, I think it can be way simpler. Also I would like some extra information about headless environments.

I put this remark here, but that applies to all images. To me, tthis url structure seems really weird. Isn't it just ./images?

It can be "./images" if you want to reference images in the same folder - which in this case you could do, as it's a v16 doc referencing a v16 image. However, it is typical in the docs to use these longer pathnames which ensure that docs work correctly even if copied/carried into another version. For example, when this doc gets copied into v17, the longer path will still work and point to the correct imagery.

I would really like to emphasize that the appearance makes a huge difference to user experience. So i personally would prefer a 'info' block with something along those lines.

I really would like a section or chapter about using Block Grid in a headless environment.

Just like in the block-grid-editor article, add a link to the 'available blocks' to the 'Setup block types' section on this page.
