The react-app config doesn't seem to be updated that often and is probably very opinionated towards apps created with create-react-app

I think it makes sense to take a more generic approach and instead we could use plugin:react/recommended as a base.

Alternatively, we should probably be using https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/packages/packages-eslint-plugin/

which is the one used by Gutenberg.
