Filtering is exactly what muting does, which will still be allowed.
Even if that may be true, it seems X has been doing well lately. Admittedly, my timeline has been sharing a lot more interesting items than I had previously received.
I say this as someone who had never used twitter, purely based on what I hear from people in non-twitter spaces, talking about twitter. It is possible I am subject to sampling bias: digital refugees from old twitter are more likely to be on non-twitter social networks and be generally discontent about the new direction of the platform they’ve eschewed.
Blocking will become a way to filter out responses you don't like, but others who follow you will still see comments and reactions if they also do not already have a user blocked.
