React$ElementRef<T> is the type of the ref instance for a component of type T, whereas React$Ref<T> is the type of the ref prop for a component of type T, which seems to be the intended type here.

As a side note, React$Ref<T> also encompasses string refs, which (unsurprisingly) don't seem to actually work with forwardRef. Not sure if we care that much, because presumably refs are intended to be pretty opaque in this context?

`React$ElementRef<T>` is the type of the ref _instance_ for a component of type T, whereas `React$Ref<T>` is the type of the ref _prop_ for a component of type T, which seems to be the intended type here.
