My team switched from React to Svelte a couple of years ago. We were working on new app, not refactoring or rewriting an old one, so we had the opportunity to choose whatever tooling we wanted.

The whole team loved Svelte. It did the stuff React did, without a lot of the ceremony or boilerplate. It was easy for the junior devs to pick up, and powerful enough for the senior devs to what needed doing.

We weren't pushing it very hard; the app was basically data entry and data display, and I assume that if you got deep enough into corner cases, it would break down like any other framework. But for our purposes, Svelte felt like someone had taken the time to understand React's issues, and fixed them.
