This is my main issue: screen readers *do not* skip the block. This will
need to be dealt with by the client, not the screen reader.

When using the screen reader, can you tell it to skip n lines?
I see something that could be done in clients as an option (not a default)
For this kind of block for example:
the client could replace it by a link entry accessing a "virtual" page containing only the text, or opening $PAGER on the content. = > verbatim-text-#1 [Virtual page] This is something In case of no alt text this would be seen as = > verbatim-text-#10 [Virtual page] No alt text of course, the wording Virtual page is the first thing that came out but I'm pretty sure something better could be found.
