I was able to import files outside of src/ by "copying" the outside files with file: as local dependency.
"dependencies": { "@my-project/outside-dist": "file:./../../../../dist". }
then
import {FooComponent} from "@my-project/outside-dist/components";
No `eject` or `react-app-rewired` or `other 3rd-party` solution was needed.
