Wrangling with JSON? Not sure about React, but with Angular and tools like gRPC you don't see a single byte of JSON and the code that interacts with the APIs is automatically generated at compile-time and is type safe (with intellisense too!) It is pretty effortless these days IME. You can't make a mistake with the coding side of things calling an API as the actual mechanics is seamlessly hidden away - mistakes can only be made in the "business" side of things (and this HTML-approach won't save you there...) If you are using an "in house" framework (or just something ancient/niche like rails) then perhaps you don't benefit as much from modern bug-resistant frameworks and tooling I guess... In which case you're probably going to make more gains just by using a mainstream framework rather than trying something new/unusual/untested(?) like this. Good luck anyway!
