Answer

The sidebar list is not in the block inserter of my post

Updated Table of Contents 1.8.1Tested with WordPress 7.1

That is on purpose. The Contents (sidebar) block belongs in a sidebar or a column of your theme's template, where it shows the list of whichever post is being read. Inside a post it would show nothing, so the post editor does not offer it. Add it in the Site Editor (Appearance → Editor), or under Appearance → Widgets on a classic theme.
