Is the new Hermes AOT JS Compiler from Facebook useful or applicable for fable-react-native on android?

Basically typical AOT benefits and drawbacks to be had:

• faster startup
• larger bundle size
• no JIT
• some JS features not supported

I think we're not using any of the features listed as not supported (we do use some of the things listed in "In progress" but they can be transpiled to "old" JS), so I guess Hermes should be compatible with Fable. I haven't tried yet but I assume it can be introduced into the build pipeline normally after Fable compilation.
