I find hooks make it easier to break apart components. With a class component, there are tons of hidden dependencies on those huge components. Maintenance programmers add them relentlessly. When it comes time to refactor, it's often easiest to just translate to hooks and then start breaking things apart. Why? hooks are small and self contained by nature, and they compose nicely, so you can start with a ball of hair and use regular refactoring tools (extract to function, move to file) to decompose them.
