I'm not finding a lot of useful information about ARIA progressbars nor
about aria-busy.
Does anyone know of a good example of a progressbar?
Does anyone know if aria-busy is even necessary if the "busy" area is part
of a page right after a hard refresh and the content is simply unavailable
for a second or two?
If something is loading and it doesn't take long to fully load, I'm not
sure if a user would even have time to explore and find a spinner graphic
or the area with aria-busy set on it.

I'd argue that no, if you know for SURE that the delay before the
content loads is going to be very short, it's not necessary. If,
however, it's more of a long-running operation (typically with dynamic
content being fetched), then yes it's necessary to convey
I made some rather crude demo aeons ago ... not even sure how well
supported it is nowadays. In this case, making the actual control/button
"busy" while (in this hypothetical example) something is being fetched
in the background.

We found in our testing that aria-busy was not sufficient at letting clients know that the page was not ready. We ended up using a modal dialog while the page was loaded.
Best wishes,
