The node preview system in Drupal 8 was written as a stop-gap solution with known deficiencies and hope that some day a more robust solution will eventually take its place.
Since the Workspace module provides a clean way to achieve "entity previews" in a non-live environment, we should be able to leverage it for nodes.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
I'm not @amateescu but I still think we should, however it will need 📌 Allow for / implement simplified content workflow with workspaces Active first at a minimum. This will need product manager review because it would make entity previewing dependent on having content moderation or workspaces enabled once it's done. There's also the question of whether we remove the form-based preview without replacement or try to move it to contrib somehow.
