The KendoReact Spreadsheet component has been released.

There are a few features that are missing compared to the jQuery version, and filtering rows based on column filters is one of them. 

Until this feature is added (along with context menus), we won't be able to use the Spreadsheet component for what we need to build, so we will have to continue wrapping the jQuery component. The object provided by the spreadsheet ref can filter programatically based on the (undocumented in KendoReact's docs) `range.filter()` method, but this would take a lot of time to implement what the jQuery version already has.
