Potentially unnecessary usage of ReactDOMServer

I noticed that in the Preview the generated component is being rendered to a string, but the result is never actually used. I'm wondering if this is this on purpose, since ReactDOM/Server further contributes to the bundle size?

        ReactDOMServer.renderToString(React.createElement(previewComponent, {}, Comp));
        render(
          React.createElement(previewComponent, {}, Comp),
          mountNode
        );

I dug through the commit history and actually found the commit that was adding this 😄

I actually managed to get this to work by wrapping the element differently, in some separate code I'm experimenting with, so I'd imagine that this should be solvable without ReactDOMServer:

Well, this is late, but the reason I use render to string is to catch runtime render errors. I can probably use boundaries now though.
