But this continued to work for the most frequent case of yanking last
kill?

In Emacs 27 there was also change in C-M-w, and it's still painful :-)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
'C-M-w' in isearch changed from 'isearch-del-char' to the new function
'isearch-yank-symbol-or-char'.  'isearch-del-char' is now bound to
'C-M-d'.

The new workflow is "C-s C-y M-y M-y...", the old one is "C-s M-y
M-y...".  If we could make the first M-y just insert the last kill, then
both workflows can live together, no?  It's just the prompt after C-s
M-y which annoys me currently.
