Snapshots excessively large or failing with Invalid string length

[BrianValente]

Description

Since Reanimated v3.16.0, snapshots using @testing-library/react-native have been breaking. In some cases, the snapshot size has increased drastically, going from less than 1 KB to over 250 MB. In other cases, snapshots fail to generate, throwing an Invalid string length error.
