JS animation libraries let you declaratively define and hook into CSS animations.

"Arcane language" not only is CSS one of the core languages of the web, but also if you find this arcane I wonder what you think of the "native" code that react native is generating for the animations.

CSS as an animation engine is completely acceptable, and it's limitations (like the one in TFA) are slowly being pushed back.

No way that pun is intended, but CSS is kinda a Tunable/Timed Finite Automaton; but being of a lower class of technically-capable expression than Javacscript, which is of a higher set of class of automata.
