This makes all the text LTR, for instance if one has an English word
embedded in the RTL text, that will be shown incorrectly.  Or even if one
of the headers (say, on the left side) is plain English.

Why wouldn't something like the following work?

\startsetups setup:bidi

\setupdirections[bidi=on,method=default,fences=no]

\stopsetups

\setupheader[setups=setup:bidi]
