Sorry none of this makes any sense to me. You can't have cyclical data binding when you only have 1-way data binding. MVC is absolutely perfect for stateful use cases. In fact, it is React that suffers a total breakdown in stateful use cases. If your component is stateful and you need to update props then the recommendation is to set and change a key, which replaces the component with a new instance. This of course eliminates any benefit that React provides.
