Something is wrong if you need a 1000 components. Not everything has to be exposed as a component. Build something in lower level library and expose it as a react component. There's a real reason something like ag-grid has such a dedicated following.
The reality is Reacts abstraction has always been thin, which begs the question is it truly valuable. It's basically an application pattern masquerading as an abstraction. In 2025, there's no reason any thoughtful organization shouldn't investigate alternatives.
