Issue description

Just wondering if there's any ETA and/or any plans to support React v18? I believe that it's been about 2.5 years since it was released. I saw some questions and discussion regarding support in 2022 and it looks like there was a jump to React 17.

However, I've found the lack of support for React 18 to be a barrier in porting several of my commonly used components into an spfx solution I was working on. Thanks for your time!

Piling on... if we're in the upgrade business, let's jump to React 19 which goes GA on September 23, 2024
