Had the same issue. Was able to access the emit method by attaching the context to the component:

SomeComponent.contextType = SocketContext;

And then in the component access emit via:

this.context.emit...

SocketContext can be imported from react-socket-io.

Emit is callable but I did not manage to get it working.
Created my own React Context object instead and used the socket.io directly.
