How is the remotely working as intended? When I saw the wool stairs and slabs I thought: finally a non-full block that can block sounds. Then in the first snapshot it didn't work and I thought they'd surely fix it. But to see this is currently not trackt as a bug is weird, seeing that the thing for wool is to block sounds and for the variants to not do this is very unintuitive and makes the newer and older features far more disconnected from each other than it needs to be.

HEY! I just checked on the Feedback Discord and this was not an issue for Bedrock Edition, those block vibrations. What makes this as WAI and not a bug, like what you did with subpixel alignment for Cushions?

Can confirm in the full release of 26.3.

Another thing to note: vibrations can also pass through two wool slabs making up a full block, though actual wool blocks work correctly. This is in contrast to Bedrock Edition, where it seems only single wool slabs allow vibrations to pass through.
