Cheers! :)

That works only for RAWs, not for JPEGs though. Is this intentional or
an oversight?

I don't get what focus regions is supposed to show. It marks both areas
that are in focus as well as areas that are completely out of focus.
Maybe there could be some tooltip, per region, on hover, that explains
what the resp. region marks?

What would really help, is a rating for overall focus, that is
automatically assigned to the image, in the lighttable. I.e. w/o the
need to zoom each one to 1:1.

I do a lot of low light photography of people dancing, using a very fast
but manual lens. Because it is almost impossible to focus and get a nice
shot at the same time, what I do is take a rapid series of half a dozen
images for each shot.
One of them is usually spot on, focus wise, the rest go straight to the
bin. For this, focus regions would be superb. But again, only if it
doesn't force me to open/view each image at 1:1.

I have hundreds of such series on a good evening of shooting. That's
thousands of RAWs the majority of which is discarded. Viewing all of
them at 1:1 in DT takes /ages/.

I think sport photographers would encounter similar use cases. :]
