How to set a Post’s default visibility to ‘Private’ in Gutenberg?

At the time of writing, there are no filters on the initial edits array passed from PHP through to javascript and into the editor initialisation function.

If such a filter existed, it would be possible to apply a post_status field, but no PHP or JS hooks exist currently to do this.

The Editor component also provides no opportunities to modify this structure to add/edit values.
