Framework fails to call ViewManager.updateState() on custom views

Description

On android, overriding updateState appears to be the only way to pass information to shadow nodes (which I need for the library port I am working on). This works fine on RN 0.81.1 (used in the prior link), but on RN 0.83.1, the function is never called (see reproducer link).

Steps to reproduce

1. npm install
2. npm run android
3. Notice the square is green not red
4. Optionally, set a breakpoint at android/app/src/main/java/com/updatestatebug/SampleViewManager.kt:33, and notice it is never hit

Inspecciona android/app/src/main/java/com/updatestatebug/SampleViewManager.kt:33 y la ruta de React Native 0.83.1 Fabric para Android de ViewManager.updateState(). Se considera hecho cuando se alcanza updateState() y el cuadrado reproducido es rojo en lugar de verde.
