React and Django are two different things.. the former is a client-side UI framework, and the latter is a backend platform for handling requests, accessing the database, etc. A better comparison is React and Vue. or Django and Flask.

IMHO, Vue/Flask is a much lighter pairing to get an MVP up quickly, utilizing SqlAlchemy or PeeWee as a database ORM library.

If the developers are familiar with Django, they can probably do the MVP just fine with it - without any front end framework.

Agreed.
