Enable Gutenberg editor for category/taxonomy

[Wohlfarth]

Description of the problem
Editing categories and/or taxonomies (name, slug, description, etc) can currently only be done with the MCE editor.

In our case, the taxonomy "category" is used as main section entries where categories have a content layout similar to pages.

Preferred solution
From our perspective, it would be very useful to have the possibility to enable the Gutenberg Editor in such a case, similar to custom content types that are enabled using that sort of parameters:
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor'),
'show_in_rest' => true,

More comments
I have been following this issue #12511. That issue was unfortunately closed with the mention that it would be placed into the "Ideas project" for future enhancements. There seems not much going on for now with this feature. Any alternative solution would be very appreciated.

Thanks much for your feedback.
