Giving credit to people that helped me with some very useful insights.

Digging a bit more in the documentation, if there are only filters , then the results will not be scored at all. If there is a query, they will. If there are both filters and query, they will.

What I’m testing is, whenever there are only filters, then add a dummy query:

$original_query...['query_string'] = [
  'query' => '_exists_: title'
];

which will be true to all results, and it will trigger the scoring functions.

Local tests show good results. I am merging this. We can follow-up as needed.
