1. I reviewed the app. I didn't attribute any of the issues to React Native itself, did I?
2. The Airbnb and UberEats apps were written by expert native developers (I happen to know a few of them), using some React Native.
You see, expert native engineers can deliver quality apps using native frameworks. And surely, if they look into React Native, most of the time they can manipulate it from the JS side to get the desired outcome on the native side. The middleware is a hinderance for them as it gets in their way of implementing what they want in the first place.
It's like building those ship models in a bottle: if you know how to build the ship, you just have to learn how to do it through the neck of the bottle. If you don't know how to build it in the first place, well... that's a different story.
You have it wrong, only the restaurant dashboard app is built using ReactNative, that was done because they had a website earlier and they wanted to convert that quickly to a tablet app and their developers who were working on that web app had very limited knowledge of iOS/Android, refer to https://eng.uber.com/ubereats-react-native/
