I agree that there is some amount of boiler plate code to Redux that doesn't seem to make sense and takes a long time to do when you're new.
But I think it really helps with maintenance and scalability of projects down the road and saves you time later on. Of course, as others have said, React and Redux is not a panacea - depending on what you want to achieve and on your personal preferences there might be better tools. |

It's popular argument but I don't think it's completely correct.
On the one hand principles of Redux (immutability, message-passing approach, separation model from the view) can be helpful, on the other hand huge amount of boilerplate and moving parts can only spoil scalability.
Besides Redux is very low level with very little abstraction (this is why some many abstractions over Redux appear - because Redux alone has almost none).
I think Redux has good foundations but it's poorly designed as a library targeted to average developer working on real projects. It feels more like some academic experiment, something more like proof-of-concept that library that solves real problems in elegant way.
