Facebook Android SDK ANRs after update

After updating the Facebook SDK version from 4.40.0 to 5.4.0, my app is getting a ton of ANRs. 12k ANRs in one day, the users couldn't even open the app.

Stack trace:

I downgraded to version 4.40.0 and the issue has been resolved, but Facebook is constantly sending me alerts to update the SDK, how to solve? I lost thousands of users and several negative reviews.
