See discussion in whatwg/html#7079. Including the effects of that PR, focusing and unfocusing (e.g. via focus() and blur()) a delegatesFocus shadow host uses the flat tree: given

<!doctype html>
<div id="host">
  <div tabindex=0>In light tree</div>
</div>
<script>
  let host = document.getElementById("host");
  host.attachShadow({ mode: "open", delegatesFocus: true }).innerHTML = `
    <slot></slot>
    <div tabindex=0>In shadow tree</div>
  `;
  host.focus();
</script>

the <div> will be focused, and if you insert host.blur() afterward, the div will be blurred.

I find delegating focus to stuff outside the shadow tree a bit weird, because you call focus(), the focus changes, but activeElement is not the host, and the host doesn't match :focus either.

I'm not sure why delegatesFocus was specified to look for focusable elements using the flat tree rather than the shadow-including tree of the shadow root, seems really weird.

which I tend to agree with. Recall that the main use cases for delegatesFocus are things like <input type="date"> where you want to focus things in the shadow DOM, not the light DOM.
