Redux is absolutely not a requirement for "simple" front-end dev. There are many simpler, less boilerplate-y, and more modern ways to manage state in a React application. See https://blog.logrocket.com/modern-guide-react-state-patterns...

Even with up to medium complexities a simple useContext or React.Context is enough.

And with NextJS it makes react state management very scalable and rarely need redux at all IMO.
