Generated image disappears from Layout Builder UI after 6 hours due to gap between temporary file age and tempstore expiration

Problem/Motivation

The Layout Builder UI for a bundle's "Manage Display" creates a sample entity for arranging the fields.
This is stored in tempstore, which has an expiry of 7 days.

However, if the sample entity has a file or image field, the sample file is stored as a temporary file, which has an expiry of 6 hours.

After 6 hours but before 7 days have passed, any action in the Layout Builder UI will cause the following
Call to a member function getValue() on null in Drupal\file\Plugin\Validation\Constraint\FileValidationConstraintValidator->validate() (line 18 of /srv/bindings/9c9fb46000b0451caf842668d3816489/code/core/modules/file/src/Plugin/Validation/Constraint/FileValidationConstraintValidator.php)

    I almost think this could be closed now that the other issue has been fixed. We no longer get a WSOD and the "Placeholder for the "Image" field" fallback text feels perfectly acceptable to me considering this is somewhat rare and had no updates for 5+ years?
