Great explanation, thanks for this. Does this mean that articles on new Forem pre the update would have noindex applied if the score was low?

@lee yes, that issue with articles published but not search indexed had been observed and reported in a few cases (including Ildi's case above), the decision to include or exclude those meta tags is done "live" when you view the page, or when you generate the sitemap, so sites that have updated in the past week should already be seeing the change and more articles get picked up by search engines, If Forem hosts your site, these updates happen about twice per week, if you're self-hosted then you'd want to update to a current container image to get this change.
