At first blush, the mental model reminds me of ASP.NET WebForms.

err, WebForms is the exact opposite. WebForms is about taking something stateless (HTML) and making is stateful. React takes something stateful (the DOM) and makes it stateless.
You can say its mental model has similarities to WebForms except for the ugly “pretend server is stateful”.
