React Hooks might as well be another framework than React Components, even if it's backwards compatible. If anything, it's proven unstable.

My advice is - if you want something that will be stable for 15 years, look for something that has already been stable for 15 years.

care to share a link, blog post, or study? i've built at this point dozens of apps on react, no "instabilities" to call home about

I believe you're thinking unstable as in "it breaks all the time". That's not it; it's that anything written before React Hooks were introduced is now squarely in the category of legacy code (https://react.dev/reference/react/legacy).
