Comment (by sseepuri):

 @westonruter - I switched to Twenty Seventeen and it got rid of the errors
 and the text widget now shows the tinyMCE editor. But the existing widgets
 all lost the text that was in the widgets earlier. Also, some of the
 sidebars being used in our custom theme became inactive when I switched to
 2017, but when I switched back they're still inactive. Is that a known
 behavior?

 But I tried the nightly wp release locally and it fixes the issue using
 our custom theme (I still see those errors in the dev console, but the
 text widget now works fine with the tinyMCE editor). So I guess I'll just
 wait for the next release - when is that going out?
