Code

// On block themes WordPress shows Appearance > Customize (and the "Customize" admin bar link)
// only when something hooks into the Customizer. An empty callback is enough to bring both back.
add_action( 'customize_register', '__return_null' );

Notes

The Customizer only shows the panels that still apply to your theme. Colors, fonts and layouts of block themes stay in the Site Editor.
