Dunno dude...your team changed from Vuex to Apollo and then from Vue to React...if I were to guess, next year you will be making other changes....is the constant variable here the framework/tech or your team!?
It is the way of these type of early projects and generally you have some organisational and technical debt either direction but receiving downstream features while supporting legacy code is the general way in React. It was going to be a Vue 2 to Vue 3 migration but moving to React should take us out of these higher frequency changes from Vue ecosystem. I don't see you rebutting or adding anything technically here. I wasn't responsible for the original stack and no we have a roadmap for the next year or two which is the same tooling give or take. Avoiding the high breaking change libs like apollo for URQL and using their cache for simple queries and Redux when we need more.
