I don't think there is anything bad or wrong about using preact. I gave it a shot and for the most part it worked really well. I think the only bad thing I noticed was that not everyone supports it (or at least some parts of it).

I ended up switching back to react due to the fact the react router coupled with typescript didn't work with preact. It's a known issue, and one that's kind of hard to get around if you want to use react router (which my code was already written with). That being said, there are routers that work with preact and typescript, just not react router.

I say give it a try and see if you like it.

Also you can take a look at this for a more in depth comparison https://preactjs.com/guide/v8/differences-to-react/ (at least between preact and react.)
