Also worth pointing out that, to my knowledge, no AT/screen reader

Similarly the native semantics of elements like header and nav don't yet
have any impact on screen readers which support the similar ARIA roles
(unless NVDA added support?) so you should add them even when there's
duplication:

However, with the new outline/sectioning algorithm, you can potentially
go well over the classic h1-h6 number of heading levels, while the ARIA
additional hints only allow mapping back to those six levels. In
principle though, absolutely.
