Some functionality has been deprecated in that library, we need to understand what the replacement is, and whether it is compatible with the modern React at all.

Per @anshgoyalevil's comment #2531 (comment)

The steps towards upgrading the project as a whole would be to

• First shift to functional components in place of class components
  • [Feature]: Refactor class components to functional components #2610
  • NB: that issue doesn't need to be addressed 100%, only for files that use history, in order to make progress here
• After that is done, try removing the instances of the history package and use useNavigate hook (you can now use hooks because functional components are allowed to do that)
• The project already uses react-router-dom v5 compat v6, so you can directly use react-router-dom v6 APIs without breaking the whole project. Aim for 1 file/router at a time in one PR.
