so you have problems you need to sort out with your own codebase. this is not unusual when using any framework. willing to bet this also stems from poor code practices due to the lack of react 'standards' 1.5 years ago / lack of es6+ code

in terms of onbaording, this is something that can always be improved on. better docs. getting started docs. if you've done it once and realized what new hires are struggling with you can reduce that in the future. the environment isn't really that bad, if you had someone who understands javascript ecosystem then they really only need to know how to bundle the packages through the device specific IDE.
just seems like you've got a bad taste in your mouth for a standard everyone else seems to have figured out.
