I'm not endorsing Formik in any way, but I don't think making an accidental breaking change in a minor version is exactly a cardinal sin.
What I'm saying is silly is to say the author is somehow "uninformed" when it comes to React like he's some sort of newbie, as opposed to the guy who wrote the library that a sizable percentage of React apps use for their form components.
I've only touched that package a few times since but it never fails to make me wish the original lead hadn't used Formik. I dunno, forms in react have never given me tears, but contrary to Formik's slogan it has been painful, even aside from this versioning fiasco, so I'm not sure this endorsement is as strong as you think it may be.
