DS Token field doesn't apply the token replace metadata to the render array - only current render context.
For some services such as context module - the metadata is required to bubble in the render array.
Motivation: As a site builder I don't want to ensure the same UUID of content block on staging / production (core block layout could be used if same UUID used), so I use a view to find the any content block I want to display.
If a content block using display suite layout with token field is displayed using views block and rendered conditionally using the context module - the cache metadata applied to the render context is ignored. (e.g. current user's username token, update to name are ignored)
Works / not work:
Solution: Add metadata to render array. (works in all cases)
Backwards compatibility: Themers may be already rendering the value directly outside a render array without issue, so we still apply meta data to render context consistent and current token replace implementation.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Hmm, I'm going to postpone this on 🐛 Is Context plugin compatible with BigPipe? Unlikely to me? Needs work to see if anything comes up there.
Ultimately, it might be more interesting to simply create a custom DS field I think, but I should test it myself at some point.
