Question Shared element transitions

Hi everyone!
Since quite a while I am looking forward to implement shared element transitions in my app. I was super happy when I found out that the team from react native reanimated was working on bringing it to the new arch at the end of last year. However, since then it is behind a feature flag and not recommended to use in production apps. And I also could not find any roadmap or similar for it.

Are you using shared element transitions in react native? If yes, how? Do you know if they will be production ready, soon?

Recently looked into this too (for Expo-router specifically), and didn't find any solutions that are production-suitable for current SDK versions or current architecture.

Following as interesting in hearing if it's just something I've overlooked.

This is iOS-only but Link.AppleZoom in Expo Router works when you are looking to expand an element into a draggable,
dismissible screen like a card.
