My personal experience is with React only and I was in similar position as you a couple of months ago. I picked up react due to similar reasons as you stated and I am happy with my decision so far. Was able to build quite a complex web app as solo developer with React and Vite. However there are some quirks about it, due to it being an older frameworks and many parts of it are not intuitive. This is mitigated by fact that many good resources are available. However if I was to start new project I would choose svelte as i like how it is more intuitive to use. But I would not pick up this as my first framework, hence chose React so that I can get comfortable with frontend development. One advise though whatever frameworks you choose, start with typescript it will make your development so much better
