I don't think you'll get away with not learning native dev. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't use any of these technologies (well maybe PhoneGap is not a great idea :D). One of the things that gets people excited about React Native is that it doesn't go out of it's way to shield you from native code or APIs. I actually found playing around with Rhino on Android pretty illuminating.
