Animation Blending not working for Server Authority

When AuthorityMode is set to Server (Server Authority). UGC Animations fail to visually blend properly, which leads to animations “jumping ahead” / “teleporting” or otherwise becoming rough, see the video below for the demonstration.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

For reproduction: Open Studio, Start any fresh template (e.g Baseplate), then you can compare how animations blend/transition & play on Automatic in comparison to Server AuthorityMode. [Shown in the video linked above as well].

Expected behavior

Animations should properly blend or otherwise transition from one to another smoothly.
For example, From jumping to the falling animation instead of just ‘setting’ the state to falling and not blending between like how it feels in Automatic (Animate script related).
