At my position, there are at least 5 different interpretations of how to do React. Each project has an overseer who enforces a particular philosophy/design. JS frameworks are frameworks. They don't make the problem easier, they just change the terminology and add new abstractions which inevitably turn into angel hair pasta.
React is not a silver bullet. It solves one problem and it solves it very well: dealing with dynamical updating DOM views. There are still many different ways to architect your application but it stops the bikeshedding and reduces the opportunity for bugs at the view layer.
