Whether or not you like React, the point is that it's solving a problem. Maybe not for you, but (I'd like to believe) at the very least for some of your colleagues.

True that whether I like it or not doesn't matter in a business and team sense. I should have phrased my comment better. I don't believe it is solving a problem. It's creating unnecessary complexity. The app is just a typical CRUD app. Traditional server side rendering would be fine in my opinion. Or perhaps coupled with LiveView or TurboLinks, and Stimulus.js. Btw, this is not so much a knock on React specifically, but on the overuse of the SPA paradigm [1] So in conclusion, using React in this case (in my opinion) doesn't solve a problem and yet I need to use it.
