All great points.

One thing I’d say in regard to low-level stuff is React Native allows you to fairly easily call into native code with its native modules functionality.

I work on a iOS/Android music learning app with a C++ audio engine and React Native UI (and Unity for the interactive parts) and it works quite well, for example we call into native code for connecting to Bluetooth hardware.

But you are right, given enough developers and time, native is probably always going to deliver an end result which feels more “right” on the platform.
