Does Hugo do any of the more advanced build tasks, like image compression&inlining, sass/less/postcss conversion (and minification)? How does it fare wrt to adding javascript behavior to pages (e.g. React components), do I have to setup a separate build system for that stuff?

Currently hugo has not focused on this aspect of development and many people have found success combining Hugo with Gulp. There are a few projects related to this that make it pretty easy. There's a good discussion around this on the forum. https://discuss.gohugo.io/t/gulp-hugo-hugo-npm/1121
