The issue stems from changes to the IRendermimeRegistry interface in jupyterlab.

Now this requires a separate markdown renderer, even to render markdown mimetype outputs and seems to be now inextricably linked with codemirror editor languages, even though it's a concern of output rendering for mimebundles.

We'll need to supply a markdown renderer of some form to the rendermime registry, using the marked renderer as-per jupyterlab will mean pulling in @juptyerlab/codemirror or building out a stub implementation of IEditorLanguageRegistry :( . Probably it's better to consider a different/better parser and use that? maybe with the need to wrap it, potentially we can just use mystjs here cc @rowanc1?
