Access To Messagebar Instance
If you use automatic initalization to init Messagebar (with init={true} prop) and need to use its Methods and Properties you can access its initialized instance by calling .instance() component's method. For example:
<Messagebar bind:this={component}>...</Messagebar>
<script>
  let component;
  // to get instance in some method
  component.instance()
</script>
