Carousel, 'loop' flag is causing React 18 to crash | Mantine | Page 1

<Carousel
      sx={{ maxWidth: cardWidth }}
      mx='auto'
      // loop
      withIndicators
      controlSize={40}
      controlsOffset='xs'
      includeGapInSize={false}
      height={cardWidth}
      speed={5}
      align='center'
      nextControlLabel="Navigational Arrow for Image Carousel"
    >
      {paths.map((path, idx) => (
        <Slide key={idx}>
          <ImageWrapper src={path} width={cardWidth}  />
        </Slide>
      ))}
    </Carousel>

enabling loop causes React18 to throw:

react-dom.development.js:86 Warning: Using UNSAFE_componentWillMount in strict mode is not recommended and may indicate bugs in your code. See https://reactjs.org/link/unsafe-component-lifecycles for details.

* Move code with side effects to componentDidMount, and set initial state in the constructor.

Please update the following components: SideEffect(NullComponent)

This worked when paths was a static array, but crashes when i get paths from db fetching. (initially empty array)

error further down in trace:

Slide is Carousel.Slide after destructuring

can't post github as it's a private repo
