create-react-app doesn't support server side rendering. There are apps that don't need that- but I believe SSR should be the default, not the edge case. create-react-app is a bundle of configuration. Configuration you'll likely need to override eventually. You're advising people new to the ecosystem blindly trust opaque configuration, and not bother understanding the underlying tools? This is terrible advice. (And if your argument is that you shouldn't use a tool without knowing how it works... Why use CRA at all? Write your own config.)

When you're at the point of needing to configure a tool which handles a base config, you need to learn the underlying tools anyway at that point, but without the experience of having built the base config up. Keeping config directly in a project creates a maintainability issue once you have a number of projects on the go, as you then need to turn it into a module like create-react-app's react-scripts or else it's copy and paste time, which becomes horrible across multiple projects, especially if you're evolving your config as you learn. Has anyone written a guide or supporting tools for creating your own config as a reusable module from the beginning? It feels like there's a gap which needs filled there.
