It's sad how convoluted something as simple as form submission has become with "modern" Javascript frameworks. I'm not sure if it is React's fault, or the way most people use it, but it does seem to degrade into a mess of over-complexity. (I've been working on web sites since CGI scripts were a thing.)

Its as simple or as complex as you make it, you can use react to render a perfectly plain html form or you can manage it totally in react. And honestly, once you have everything set up and some previous examples, managing and submitting forms in react is trivial as well.
