Is there an existing issue for this?

Package Version

0.11.3

Current Behavior

As indicated in this thread and in MetaMask/metamask-extension#13375, despite passing { shimDisconnect: true, shimChainChangedDisconnect: true }, the wallet can still sometimes involuntarily disconnect when the user switches the chain from inside the metamask browser extension.

For context,, when testing this on a mature non-wagmi app such as Uniswap, we're able to switch (to, from) any chain in the metamask browser extension without the Uniswap UI involuntarily disconnecting.

Expected Behavior

After connecting in the app, never spontaneously disconnect, regardless of which network a user switches to in their wallet, even if that network is unsuppoted/unconfigured in the current wagmi client instance.

Steps To Reproduce

Non-deterministic reproduction (sometimes it disconnects, sometimes it doesn't):

1. load the link below (the only change from new.wagmi.sh is the addition of shim/shimDisconnect: true in Metamask connector
2. connect wallet
3. switch network between goerli and zkSyncTestnet in metamask browser extension. Sometimes it'll disconnect in the app.
