Can relate about illegible React stack traces in production builds. One of the reasons in my case was Create-React-App obfuscating ES6 class names, which is just insane! Just why???! Why throw all code structure away just to save a couple KBs. The worst part is CRA folks acting like dictators when asked to provide an option to toggle that: "Why in heavens earth would you need that?". "You can fork our 30K+ line repo [just to toggle minification] if you want".

Sorry for the off topic rant!

P.S: Yes I know source maps exist. They suck/aren't reliable.

You could also use customize-cra and skip on minifications in about 10 lines of code
