Yes. Seems like the best we can do.

We can request that all explicit (stateful) bidi marks must be
terminated before the end-of-line. Cut&paste and line breaking
algorithms will have to be careful.

Which is not really better. The real solution is probably to use
implicit directional marks (RLM, LRM) only.
Stateful bidi marks are like stateful encodings (ISO-2022), and they
have the same problems: they add complexity to simple tasks like line
breaking and selecting/extracting a piece of a line.
