As a hobbyist, just do whatever you feel most comfortable with. React is designed for businesses to work on large applications. It can be nice to use if you know it well enough, but you certainly don't need it. There is nothing you can do with React that you can't do with other frameworks, or even in vanilla js. It can make certain things easier, like testing UI components due to its functional design (ie, a component will always be exactly the same given the same input), and going back and forward through time is harder to do without React-adjacent libraries like redux. Don't worry about it. Sometimes vanilla js or other frameworks are honestly just faster or better suited, especially if you work alone.
