The spec issue also applies for modal dialog element, right?

I don't quite follow. As far as I can tell, dialogs are already hidden from the a11y tree unless they're showing. But I think that's because they're effectively display: none when they're not showing.

I mean content outside of open modal dialogs. When a dialog element is shown as a modal dialog, all content that is not in the dialog is inert per spec.

Oh yes, the spec issue applies to that implicitly inert content as well. Note that the spec issue is addressed now, but the Firefox a11y engine doesn't implement it (bug 1767561).
