Pretty straightforward upgrade.

Majorly because react 17 removes event pooling and other perf enhancements, less memory consumption etc. https://reactjs.org/blog/2020/08/10/react-v17-rc.html#no-event-pooling

Update 2nd Sept 2022: following guide from https://reactjs.org/blog/2022/03/08/react-18-upgrade-guide.html
