I'm just forwarding the issue to follow up on whether there has been any progress on this issue on react-native-screens.

Steps to reproduce

Switch tabs on iOS with any animation: "fade" | "shift" after fews switches there is a chance to have a blank screen

Research direction

Start with the linked React Navigation issue and reproduce the problem using the provided Snack on iOS with react-native-screens 4.19.0, React Native 0.81.5, Fabric, and tab animations set to fade or shift. Repeatedly switch tabs and compare behavior as screen complexity changes; done means the blank screen no longer occurs after repeated switching.
