Can we check off this one #16949 (comment) ?

Yes I'll check this one off and make a note to test on production.

Noting that I see one new ANR in Firebase for 1.2.97-2 but it seems like a one-off issue, I don't think we need to block on this.

SpannedString.getSpanFlags
ANR triggered by slow operations in main thread
