## Description

Not absolutely essential, but would provide benefits with development speed. Several modern web tools require up-to-date versions of React, ReactDOM, etc. For example, React v18 is out while we're currently on 2+ year old React v16.13.

Upgrading is extremely non-trivial however, as React v18 changes some fundamentals about rendering and tons of syntax. The recency of v18 also likely implies that some packages aren't yet compatible with it, so going to at least React v17 would suffice in most cases

## Current Behavior

Some packages aren't compatible with our existing code at all. Motivation for this issue came from attempting to install `react-konva-utils`, the earliest version of which requires at least React v17.

## Expected Behavior

Packages should (usually) install without hiccups

## Steps to reproduce

`yarn`, `yarn add `

## Links to any relevant pastes or documents

n/a.
