Offering an alternative point of view: I would really like if the tutorial at least pointed towards documentation on what do I need and why, and the right way to set these things up between Babel and Webpack, as well as Typescript. Maybe my use case is rarer, I don't know, but if I want to do things right, I want to understand what I'm setting up. Do I really need babel? If I use Typescript, do I still need it? etc... I understand this doesn't have much to do with React per se but if these components are a definitive part of the ecosystem people work with, there is value in at least telling people where to find a high quality explanation for how they fit together.
