It has become very practical / doable in the recent year or so. In my experience, if you have lot of frontend web experience, the easiest way to ship a RN app is by using Solito [0]. Also check out Nativewind [1] which allows you to style native apps the same way like you would on web. I was able to ship the first version of our app in about 1.5 weeks with this stack. Also checkout Tamagui [2].
