jQuery solved the problem of browser compatibility and hard-to-use browser APIs. However browser api have improved a lot, with new apis sometimes modeled after jquery, and browser compatibility is much less of an issue. There is really isn't a reason to use jQuery over just vanilla javascript anymore. I don't think it makes sense to use React and friends unless you are building Single Page Applications.
