Maybe ask in #adobe since that's where the Adobe team hang out and this is very Adobe-specific.

If you are just starting out on your Solr journey, then you may want to take a look at ElasticSearch which is standalone so you don't get tied into the Adobe release cycle. You can also run Solr standalone. Being locked into Adobe lifecycles is painful (talking from experience)

I'd definitely agree that using something like ElasticSearch or OpenSearch is a better route to go, because it doesn't limit you to either the ACF release cycle or how you use the product. We've found both ElasticSearch and OpenSearch much more flexible. It's a little more work upfront (writing provisioning scripts, figuring out how to secure things for your environment, writing any CFC wrappers you need), but it's been worth it to us.
