[Bug]: Onboarding broken in SB8

[shilman]

Describe the bug

The onboarding addon fails to render properly and blocks user interaction. Probably due to some React version mismatch -- 8.0 manager UI is based on React18, 7.x is React16. Probably just need to create a next branch of the addon & externalize React on it? Or just bump a major?

NOTE: This isn't an issue in 7.x.

To Reproduce

In an empty directory:

npx storybook@next init

Then choose react-vite.

System

No response

There are two reasons for this failure, both unrelated to versions of React:

• The elements are not properly visible (fixed here)
• One of the steps of the walkthrough will not select the right element, and the users will be stuck. This happens because in Storybook 8 the UI changed, and it's tricky to keep the addon working for both structures of Storybook 7 and 8

There is a fix proposed here:
storybookjs/addon-onboarding#81

Still broken. Reproduction:

mkdir nextjs-empty
cd nextjs-empty
npx storybook@next init

Finally, choose the NextJS option
