Are there alternatives to MapImage in ArcGIS 4?

I've upgraded my site from ArcGIS 3 to 4. All functionality has been ported across other than a MapImageLayer.

I understand this isn't available yet and, as of 4.16 is still listed as coming soon in the functionality matrix: Functionality matrix | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.16

My question is: is there an alternative I could use in ArcGIS 4 to add an image to a map? These are some ideas of had and some attempts I've made:

PictureFillSymbol with a rectangle polygon.
- The image resized on zoom and I couldn't figure out how to get it to take up the full extent of the polygon at any zoom level.
- Is there a way to make the image static within the polygon?
KML layers with GroundOverlay
- The layer didn't fail, but it also didn't draw anything
- There is a limitation that GroundOverlays must have a "refresh property", I'm not sure what this is: KML—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation

BaseLayerView2D
- Could you use the render function and call drawImage? CanvasRenderingContext2D.drawImage() - Web APIs | MDN
- I haven't attempted this yet
Are there any other possible alternatives that could render an image on the map without it being in a layer?

Hi there, have you looked at these two layers?
