Mmmmh... @MMiller_WMF and I both had no banner on our homepages.
I rechecked using this link: https://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%B5:%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D8%A9_%D8%B1%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9&source=userpagetab&namespace=2
And then realized that messages are local. Tested with &uselang=ar and it works.
Sorry for the false alarm.
That's my mistake, forgot about T57473: i18n fallback uses message from i18n file before customized message from DB (MediaWiki: namespace).

The fix works in betalabs - I added the task to my list of post-deployment checking.
One notice though - a user can dismiss the regular banner and the banner won't be shown again (it seems it's not persistent); a user cannot dismissed the Homepage banner.
Checked in mwf.25 - with uselang=en and with English as the language selected as a user' preference, the banner is displayed.
