True that whether I like it or not doesn't matter in a business and team sense. I should have phrased my comment better.

I don't believe it is solving a problem. It's creating unnecessary complexity. The app is just a typical CRUD app. Traditional server side rendering would be fine in my opinion. Or perhaps coupled with LiveView or TurboLinks, and Stimulus.js.

Btw, this is not so much a knock on React specifically, but on the overuse of the SPA paradigm [1]

So in conclusion, using React in this case (in my opinion) doesn't solve a problem and yet I need to use it.
