Just to offer a counter to this, I would say the JS side of Rails (Stimulus included) has matured a great deal recently, and I have worked with teams that are actively using it in their applications (and migrating away from React in fact). React has its place for sure, but I would say the whole model of API-driven React based UIs only really fits for a certain level of complexity and scale of team. Certainly having some React experience will broaden the potential job opportunities you can pursue, but I wouldn’t dismiss having a solid knowledge of Turbo, etc, as equally useful.
