Issues with selectors and react 17?

After updating our system's react version, we are having problems with selectors prompting

Cannot read property 'displayName' of null

The code that's breaking:

await t.expect(selector.exists).ok();

we tried appending a timeout inside ok(), it helped but it's still breaking sometimes at that assertion. That selector in particular is defined with ReactSelector, something like this:

selector = ReactSelector('Title').findReact('h1').withProps('children', 'string')
