Well, I'm fine with not using the patch. Now I know we need to look into
the `$widget_options['show_instance_in_rest']` property to have the
`transfom` function working in WordPress 5.8.
But, the feature already shipped into the Gutenberg plugin and just like
me, there might be people already using the transform feature that might
be confused like I was to see the transform function is no more working.
