"What are we at now, Ubuntu 24?"
For what it's worth, between 2011 and 2016, React shipped versions 0.0.1 to 0.14.0. Then in 2016 they said "fuck it, we're stable now" and jumped immediately to 15.0.0 (they considered 0.14.0 to be mostly equal to 14.0.0).
Then they did 16 in 2017, 17 in 2020, 18 in 2022, and 19 finally in Dec 2024. I don't think 4 major versions in ~9 years is a world breaking amount of churn. I have my problems with the team's development of React, but I think they have a pretty sensible view of breaking changes and limiting churn.
