At Asana, we actually test performance in production with a A/B test split. We use Interana (but any data aggregator would work) to analyze the results. Trying to measure the regressions in a sandbox did not match our Real User Metrics (RUM). In order for this to work though, you need to develop a strong mental model of React performance so you can optimize it further.

Do you have a blog post or something like that about React performance or the mental model you got? It would be an interesting read.
This is probably the best one we have in public https://blog.asana.com/2017/08/performance-asana-app-rewrite.... If you have specific questions, we would be happy to write a follow up one! A lot of the work we've done has been measuring time from request to finished render.
