Programatic submission broken when using React 17

[paintedbicycle]

Prerequisites

Description

Likely related to this issue (though this is an unconfirmed hypothesis), it is no longer possible to submit forms programatically when using React 17 and this library. Thus, I have not been able to update my React dependency because of this library.

Programatic form submission never fires.

Steps to Reproduce

Simply make any form using programatic form submission and React 17

CodePen with React 16: https://codepen.io/paintedbicycle/pen/WNozvME (this works)
CodePen with React 17: https://codepen.io/paintedbicycle/pen/ZEBxGrR (this does not)

Both Pens are identical except for the React dependency.

Expected behavior

Programatic form submission should work the same was as regular form submission

Actual behavior

Programatic form submission doesn't proceed.

Version

2.4.2
