Using any kind of privacy/adblock extension that supports domain-level whitelisting (e.g. uBlock Origin) works fine, and this is what we suggest in the accessibility FAQ. Apple didn't build fine-grained controls into their browser before making this recent change, unfortunately.
That said, we're working with the browser makers on native support for our next gen privacy-preserving approach to this via Privacy Pass.

Holy moley! Yeah, that's a deal-breaker. I agree that this is entirely unacceptable.

We are implementing a solution, but in the meantime please visit Safari Preferences, Privacy section, and uncheck "Website tracking: Prevent cross-site tracking" to enable the accessibility cookie to function as expected.

So while you're patting yourself on the back for not "being like Google", your accessibility workaround exposes blind users to third party trackers like Google.
