Random Crashes with ns7 core modules

We're also experiencing pretty random but often crash from time to time on iOS devices with latest NS 7 core modules and the project built with Xcode 12:

Start with app/packages/core/ui/core/view/index.ios.ts at _removeViewFromNativeVisualTree and trace the teardown calls through view-base/index.ts and layout-base-common.ts. Reproduce the assertion on an iOS device using the reported NativeScript 7 and Xcode 12 setup, then confirm the teardown path no longer crashes under the observed conditions.
