If you like the React style approach but want something a bit more self-contained, why not check out SwiftUI? Alternatively for Android, Jetpack Compose? Both toolkits are similar in style to React.

If you're feeling brave (I guess not today) you could also try a Kotlin Multiplatform app, which lets you share code between Android, iOS and desktop or even use Jetpack Compose on iOS (but that's a road less travelled because you don't get fully native UI that way).

Is Jetpack Compose on iOS actually a thing yet? If so, any idea where I can see a demo of it in action, to check for accessibility? A quick web search didn't yield any definitive results.
It's early days for Compose on iOS. I doubt it'll have good accessibility support yet. I think most apps would rather use native UI on iOS.
I feel like the next iteration of a React Native-like tool (if Flutter isn't your jam) could build on top of SwiftUI and JetPack compose.
