React + Redux has plenty of great principles behind it: functional approach to front-end dev, understanding the importance of one way data flow, components, immutable data stores etc. Also the separation of data from UI that allows rendering abstractions that result in React Native. There's a lot of material a good engineer should understand, and it's well thought out in React/Redux.

If you are trying to put up a few web pages quickly, then the learning curve is steep and it's probably overkill.

However, for complex single page apps with complex data that involve a team, then the payoff is huge. Especially with TypeScript (or other). The reliability, testability and extensibility of our complex applications is amazing compared to our previous attempts over the years.
