As someone who just wants a modern React-based replacement for Leaflet -- just a tile (vector would also be nice) renderer, and not the appbase.io (not familiar) stuff, not any of the filtering or querying -- can this be used standalone?

Something like that would require a rich set of objects to be arranged declaratively based on the visible bounds, such as labels, icons, lines, polygons, etc.

Check out `react-mapbox-gl`. It's not perfect, but we're using it on my current project and have been quite happy with it- not least because the maintainers seem pretty cool about reviewing, merging, and publishing pull requests.

I've actually been wanting to fork it and expand it a bit to make it more feature-complete with Mapbox GL JS, but that's still in the works at the moment.

That looks quite nice, thank you.

You might want to check https://github.com/tomchentw/react-google-maps.

We build on top of it to add the querying functionality and additional components (everything that is not a map).

Thanks, but that's not a renderer, just a wrapper around the Google Maps widget. You may want to look into Leaflet since you're apparently not familiar with it.
