const getAccessToken = async () => {
        try {
            await getAccessTokenSilently();
        } catch (e) {
            if (e.error === 'login_required') {
                // if silent auth fails, fall back to popup
                await getAccessTokenWithPopup();
            } else {
                console.error(e);
            }
        }
    };

It looks like you are not returning anything in the getAccessToken function, so it is expected to return undefined. Please try:

const getAccessToken = async () => {
        let token;
        try {
            token = await getAccessTokenSilently();
        } catch (e) {
            if (e.error === 'login_required') {
                // if silent auth fails, fall back to popup
                token = await getAccessTokenWithPopup();
            } else {
                console.error(e);
            }
        }
       return token;
    };
