I'm not pro-react but I find it much saner than rails/django. My brain can't wrap writing server side blend of js and html, the component way makes code pretty clean right away, and live reload is faster in vue/react than django (afaik). Not saying that the js world is great by any mean, or that in your case simple html templates would do, but most of the time I rapidly feel the need to have react/vue to make things clearer or safer (and prettier).
