To receive eslint warnings about missing array dependencies, just like for standard useEffect, useCallback, useMemo hooks - extend you eslint config as follows:
{
"rules": {
// ...
"react-hooks/exhaustive-deps": ["warn", {
"additionalHooks": "(useDeepCompareEffect|useDeepCompareCallback|useDeepCompareMemo)"
}]
}
}
