If you want React Native, then you need React :) From what i gather, React Native is good enough for simple things and is iOS-first, but quickly fails to live up to the hype for anything moderately complicated and is actually slower than apps that are native from the get-go. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but aiming for the lowest common denominator seems like a lot to give up. I would be interested to see a React Native app that truly benefits from being native, aside from the app store and distribution aspect.
