Build warning on undeclared dependency

The build currently spews the following warning:

One of your dependencies, babel-preset-react-app, is importing the
"@babel/plugin-proposal-private-property-in-object" package without
declaring it in its dependencies. This is currently working because
"@babel/plugin-proposal-private-property-in-object" is already in your
node_modules folder for unrelated reasons, but it may break at any time.
babel-preset-react-app is part of the create-react-app project, which
is not maintianed anymore. It is thus unlikely that this bug will
ever be fixed. Add "@babel/plugin-proposal-private-property-in-object" to
your devDependencies to work around this error. This will make this message
go away.

Should we just add this to devDependencies? Why do we still depend on create-react-app anyway now that our project is initialized? Could we drop that dependencies (I do not see it as a top-level dependency in our package.json.)
