Wouldn't the debugger break on exception? So any exceptions used in "nonexceptional" situations have a potential to "pollute" the debugging experience?

Admittedly, I haven't tried debugging React 18 yet, so I don't know if that actually happens in practice.

Only if you set it to break on handled exceptions/Promise rejections. This isn’t new behavior in React 18, it’s been the mechanism used for Suspense since it was introduced. If you have used Suspense and haven’t had unexpected debugger pauses, that’s what you should expect going forward.
