> when we hire somebody familiar with React, they can hit the ground running and start contributing immediately This is one of the selling points, but never really realizable in a large scale project. I've seen people become productive with an in-house template system, vanilla javascript + custom libraries even faster than on a "standard" React project. As they emphasize in their own docs, React is not a framework. The amount of moving pieces you need around it for a working project ends up being more complex than your cut-to-size custom framework. There are many other positives to adopting standard tools, but this one is a red herring.
