Button blocks are now filtered out of the array of contentClientIds, so to solve the issue I changed the check to core/buttons instead.

That's testing nicely for me with and without Buttons blocks in the section/pattern 👍

Thanks for the quick follow-up, this is testing nicely for me!
Simple content view when lots of buttons are present:
Buttons still available from list tab:
And the Navigation and List blocks are otherwise behaving as on trunk.
LGTM 🚀

What?
Addresses some feedback from @andrewserong - #74843 (review).
The code currently has some hard-coded rules for List and Navigation blocks to exclude their children from the Content Panel:
gutenberg/packages/block-editor/src/components/block-inspector/index.js
Lines 166 to 168 in 6726612

Line 171 in 6726612
In this PR I'm formalizing the logic to specifically check for blocks that have List View support. Those that do have support will have child blocks not visible in the Content Panel.
Navigation block still ends up being an exception since it uses a custom implementation of List View and doesn't technically have List View support.
Why?
It shortens the content list to only those necessary. It also solves an issue where it looks like there are two selected blocks:
Now only Buttons is shown:
