If you're trying to market yourself as a react developer, creating a killer portfolio site in react isn't a bad idea, but as a general use case, I don't think React makes a ton of sense. React, in my opinion, shines mainly for web apps, and not informational websites, which presumably is what you're looking to build. There are better solutions if all you want to do is post links to your work in a presentable way.
