[0.54] Commits to cherry-pick into stable release

[hramos]

The thread containing issues that are blocking the 0.54 release and need to be addressed.

Please keep this list to critical bug fixes that are new in 0.54 and ideally have been merged into master -- post commit hashes rather than issue/PR numbers unless the issue/PR in question targets a problem specific to 0.54. The intent of these cherry-pick threads is not to solicit features but to fix things that make 0.54 substantially more launch-blocked than 0.53.

"Draft complete; needs review" now, but still missing on where it matters publicly

[grabbou]

Will be up in 2 hours.

I've also updated the release description to contain our current draft before I make it public. We are at the final step reviewing last commits.

For the next release, I'll make sure to update the release description a bit earlier and also, do a Twitter announcement from our account (React Native)

A new patch version would be much appreciated!
It'd fix: #18179 which is currently blocking quite a few people from using 0.54

[grabbou]

Let me look at it first thing this morning and I'll release new versions where needed. Mike
