Comment (by jamesros161):

 I am having similar issues. In testing our theme for 5.8 issues, I found
 that the custom controls we added to the widgets-meta are no longer
 showing in the Gutenberg widgets block editor, so I decided to opt-out in
 our theme's configuration by using `remove_theme_support( 'widgets-block-
 editor' )` so that the traditional widgets editor would show inside the
 customizer. this is run inside of a function hooked to
 `after_setup_theme`. However, the Gutenberg editor is still being used
 inside the customizer.

 I have also tried using `add_filter( 'gutenberg_use_widgets_block_editor',
 '__return_false' );` according to the instructions here:
 https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/widgets/opting-
 out/ but that doesn't work either.
