I have been a react dev for 7 years and have loudly advocated against state management tools all that time. React already is a state management tool, designed to eliminate the need for complex global state. You only need external state management if you don't fully commit to the paradigm.

Sorry but what? What do you do when a parent component needs access to a particular slice of state? Refactor the entire tree? What about deeply nested components? Prop drill 100 levels deep?

emit and observe an event with a callback passed down?

please no. my work does this and the events are completely untraceable. you have no idea what's listening to what or where it will be caught or prevented

oof

Can you expand on what you mean by "the paradigm"?
