About 6 years ago I maintained the LDAP integration code for Atlassian Crowd, which is/was reused by Jira (& Confluence). Jira (both Cloud and Server) does cache permissions, heavily. Jira effectively has a local cache of user and

FWIW Atlassian's perspective is generally more like "they don't have much money yet , so let's get them while it's easy to get them". Small companies grow into big companies, and small single-team deployments
