Could you elaborate why you dislike lifecycle methods? I read this take a lot and I use mainly angular but did some smaller projects with react class components and with function components. I also think function components are very counter intuitive but I also never had anything against lifecycle methods.

They often require quite complex ifology for simple use cases. Also didmount and diduptade often needs to be overriden together only to have almost the same implementation. They also have some gotchas regarding state updating inside them.
