I echo -- this is good advice. Pick the minimal set of tools you need to use react and css modules (this probably means banging your head against something like webpack for more time than you can possibly enjoy) - but with those pieces alone as starting point, you don't really need a lot of additional library support to build applications that run in browsers ... and your code should start to seem understandable/predictable -- in a manner reminiscent of using better native frameworks of the past. Unlike many other web programming approaches -- this stack should help avoid the need to invent new hacks for every new feature or slightly different situation ...
