From my experience with React and Next.js, limiting the amount of dependencies can make things easier as far as updating React versions without being locked into an older major version because of a dependency.

I've been burned by a couple of libraries namely because they didn't handle hooks properly or were creating bugs that I couldn't understand.

The conclusion the author makes (only use libraries that are well maintained by a known team) is a pretty good heuristic for which libraries to choose.
