Electron Apps Causing System-Wide Lag on Tahoe

This script detects apps with not yet updated versions of Electron.
Temporary workaround:
Run
launchctl setenv CHROME_HEADLESS 1
on every system start. The CHROME_HEADLESS flag has a side effect of disabling Electron app window shadows, which makes them ugly, but also stops triggering the issue.
