Re: "Blocking a user (two-way mute)"
I think this is a pretty good idea, and second caveat might come out of a question in a private bubble instance, where each person gets an account and only one, so they can't logout, if the content is hidden, and can't register another account as they are only given one to be able to register.

Muting a user makes the target invisible to you and prevents notifications by the target. However, the target can still see all of your content. A block feature would do the same but also hide your existence, along with your content, from the target. Caveats: Other users can still quote or reference posts and comments by either party, circumventing the block. The target can log out or register a different account to view the blocker's content.
