Interestingly React 18 is targetted at RN 0.69: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/33696#issuecomment-1108605214

Phil Hannent: I would guess we could expect it in Expo in SDK 46 then.
Kim Brandwijk
The upcoming SDK 45 release will use React Native 0.68, which is the latest release. This RN version doesn't support React 18 yet, as mentioned in the React 18 post here which was published just days before RN 0.68 shipped.
We fully expect to continue to track more closely with RN releases in future SDK versions, but as React 18 has not landed in any RN release yet, we can't make any statements beyond that.

Kim Brandwijk: Thanks very much for your reply! I'm glad to hear Expo is catching up on RN versions as that's the real crux of my request.

Slapbox: With eas you often can already "bump forward" (with caveats) as expo no longer requires the special expo fork.
