Comment (by oglekler):

 Hi @desrosj with the latest version of WooCommerce (5.4.1) all seems to
 work, but Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg (version 1.23.4) blocks are not
 working in Widgets (I made an issue on their GitHub). I wonder if we can
 notify all plugins and themes authors who are using widgets or have blocks
 🙈 to check compatibility?

 The 5.8 loads frontend scripts in Widgets what was only expected in
 Customizer previously and because of it, these scripts can cause errors as
 well. I have tested on a site I am about to finish and found that I didn't
 check the existence of an element before handling it assuming that it's in
 the header and always exists. I can not be the only one 😅
