React as it is now isn't going to be React as it is at some future date, it will evolve. Any framework you use has an inherent risk of going stale and being replaced by the next new new thing. Luckily, to get stuff done, you don't need to be using the new new thing, so choose your frameworks based on whether it makes sense for your scenario. Jquery / UI was the rage at one stage, and it still chugs along.
React isn't the only game in town... some other popular ones are :-
Vue
Angular
Elm
All of them have a certain amount of momentum which means, for the short to mid term they are going to be hanging around. But they all have inherent tech risks going forward. It only takes a few innovations browser front end wise to be mainstream to make newer frameworks become the new new thing. For instance things like webassembly / more GUI / vector based GPU accelerated capabilities opens up new ways of putting together apps using all kinds of languages.
