At some point, in a new major release, we should drop support for React 16 + 17, and target React 18+.

This allows us to:

Replace newId with useId which works better for a11y purposes and supports SSR.
Improve performance with useTransition, useDeferredValue, etc.
Enable support for React 19 in the future
Upgrade to newer dependencies that also support only React 18+

At the same time we should:

Replace the use of deprecated unmountComponentAtNode with the new the new createRoot() compatible APIs

✅ Depends on #3367 (v22) and #3395 (v23), but both are now merged.

We should probably track this beyond just Paragon. I'm not 100% sure where the best place to track this would be - maybe https://github.com/openedx/platform-roadmap/issues?
