This has been my experience, react is now a tool I reach for to build apps that require a very high level interactivity with a non-form based ui. For more standard workflows Django with a bit of vanilla JS has become my go-to tool.
Our team has never felt more productive and the dev learning curve is much less steep. Clients are happier with the results, and the apps feel much more maintainable because there are less pieces to break / update / manage in the production environment.
