React-static: uglifyjs doesnt work with hooks - move to `terser`?

[sw-yx]

not sure if this is a bug but just opening a discussion about this issue when using react-static with hooks. when doing a prod build this happens:

• https://github.com/webpack-contrib/uglifyjs-webpack-plugin/issues/374
• https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2/issues/3291

and the maintainers of uglify dont seem to be fixing it so we may need to move to terser

[sw-yx]

crappy temporary solution is to disable uglification

// node.api.js

export default pluginOptions => ({
  webpack: config => {
    // hooks dont work with uglifyjs https://github.com/webpack-contrib/uglifyjs-webpack-plugin/issues/374
    if (config.optimization.minimizer) config.optimization.minimizer.shift()
    return config
  },
})

I would be okay moving to Terser as long as it's non-breaking.

Terser seems to be the successor to Uglify now. I've had no problem replacing it in other projects.
