Yes, you can pass "text" SQL into a pl/pgsql function and "EXECUTE"​ it.  That text must be plain SQL though, not pl/pgsql.

Converting pl/pgsql into plain SQL and executing it as a CTE seems like an over-solution.  What should be reasonably possible to rewrite the "execute block" as a "create function" then modify your clients to do send "select * from function();" instead of "execute block ..."

If I was you I'd even be curious enough to see if maybe there is an external third-party extension "pl/firebase" language out there which would let you comfortably copy-paste the block text into the function body with minimal or no editing.
