From my experience the best way to check for promises is
if (item != null && typeof item.then === 'function')
Of course this is not entirely accurate, however, its what most promise libraries use to "assimilate" foreign promises (often called "thenables" from the library perspective) coming from other libraries. Once the existence of then is confirmed, its generally safe to assume it can take one or two callback functions.
instanceof is unfortunately unreliable in many cases. For example it doesn't work across iframes. Similarly if the class being checked is imported from a node module, the instanceof check may fail if npm or yarn decided to install a separate copy for the library for a sub-dependency. speakingjs.com/es5/ch17.html#cross...
