Set layer visibility using QgsMapCanvasLayer in QGIS 3?

Just for the record, I had to turn to a different class and member function to set the visibility of a layer lyr in QGIS 3:

QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot().findLayer(lyr.id()).setItemVisibilityChecked(False)

This is based on searching/researching the breaking change page:

QgsLayerTreeGroup

setVisible() is replaced by QgsLayerTreeNode::setItemVisibilityChecked()

There might be other ways, but this is what worked for me.
