I haven't done an audit of a site built with these WordPress page builders
myself but I know they can present some issues.

Beaver Builder has this statement on accessibility:
https://kb.wpbeaverbuilder.com/article/362-page-builder-and-accessibility

Elementor has this blog post, How to Make Your Website Accessible With
Elementor: https://elementor.com/blog/wordpress-accessibility-elementor/

The Divi theme uses a page builder. Divi Builder is also a standalone
plugin. There is a plugin Divi Accessibility
https://wordpress.org/plugins/accessible-divi/ which makes some theme
elements more accessible e.g. keyboard focus and navigation. As far as I
know this only works with the Divi theme, not the Divi Builder plugin.
