Summary
Android Gradle Plugin 7 removed dependency configurations, and it includes compile. Below is a snipped from release notes https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin
I can confirm that RN 0.65.0 app is running as expected on Android with the patch.
Changelog
[Android] [Changed] - Android Gradle Plugin 7 compatibility
Test Plan
Create a project with RN 0.65.0 and upgrade Android Gradle Plugin to 7.0.0, and Gradle to 7.0.2. It'll fail to sync. Then apply the change, and it'll sync as normal, and build the app.
