If you’re using it as a reason to learn React or it gets you excited to get started, sure! Especially if you plan to have more than just static content, it’s totally a viable choice. But as someone who writes a lot of React for work, do I think it sounds like the right technology for a personal portfolio? Not really. To me, part of the joy of small personal sites is that you can sidestep all of the tooling and compilation stuff and instead just write and publish. But I’ve also seen some highly interactive portfolio apps that run on React or similar, so a lot depends on your vision and what excites you.
