I recently did a project that used the create-react-app CLI, and felt a bit anxious. I know the setup that create-react-app creates, but I still prefer to write this all myself. Most, if not every project I do, I start from scratch, and build the pipeline when I have a need for it. It also forces me to understand the way my app will be build. I've met a lot of developers who only use these pre-build setups, or only use bootstrapped templates that they don't even know what they do, and personally, that scares me.
