I'm a little late to this party - is it possible to include font-weight on the label and completely leave out 'strong'?

Max,

You are correct. I added role="presentation" to the <strong> and it was read
by JAWS in Chrome 80. While I don't agree with the role="presentation", as
it is not proper HTML semantic, at least it does solve the problem for now.

Thank you so much for sharing this.
