There's now a babel plugin that you can add to your config that will remove strict mode: babel-plugin-transform-remove-strict-mode. It's a little ugly in that the "use strict" gets added and then removed, but it makes the config much nicer.

Docs are in the GitHub repo: https://github.com/genify/babel-plugin-transform-remove-strict-mode

Your .babelrc ends up looking like this:

{
  "presets": ["env"],
  "plugins": ["transform-remove-strict-mode"]
}
