Year have passed, but i'm gonna answer anyway. Just set map reference on init, and then refer to it and use just native google maps api according to their docs, here's simplified example:

import { useEffect, useRef } from 'preact/hooks';
import GoogleMapReact from 'google-map-react';

const CustomMap = () => {
  const mapRef = useRef(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    mapRef.current &&
      mapRef.current.setCenter({ lat: 10, lng: 20 });
  }, []);

  return (
    <div>
      <GoogleMapReact
        yesIWantToUseGoogleMapApiInternals
        onGoogleApiLoaded={({ map }) => {
          mapRef.current = map;
        }}
      >
      </GoogleMapReact>
    </div>
  );
};

export default CustomMap;
