I guess this video was already obsolete when it was created: Why the use of a class component wrapper? And why the use of a custom event?
You don't need to reference your web component with ref.current.prop, that will bypass reacts state management and won't trigger a re-render, just add a state value directly to a web component attribute, than it will update your web component just as it does with normal react components.
