The filename 'TestNode.spec.tsx' contains a typo. It should be 'TextNode.spec.tsx' to match the component name.

The component reference 'h1' should be a string 'h1' for HTML elements. This will cause a runtime error as h1 is not defined.
Suggested change
| <TextNode as={h1}>Hello!</TextNode> | |
| <TextNode as="h1">Hello!</TextNode> |

In what cases will this be used? Is it intended to be a wrapper that replaces logic elsewhere like in Description? If so, I'm wondering if we should add an explicit wrapper <div> around children on L27 so attributes/props can be passed to the component

A use case for this could be Drawer. We currently have this:
leafygreen-ui/packages/drawer/src/Drawer/Drawer.tsx
Lines 263 to 270 in bda06c5
but that could be replaced with TextNode like this:
const Wrapper = ({ children }: PropsWithChildren<{}>) => (
<Body
as={'h2'}
baseFontSize={BaseFontSize.Body2}
id={titleId}
className={titleStyles}
>
{title}
</Body>
);
<TextNode as={Wrapper}>{title}</TextNode>However, in this case, the consumer will lose the id attribute if using a ReactNode so being able to pass that id to the ReactNode could be beneficial.

Good example! Yes, it seems like being able to pass attributes/props to the TextNode would be important
