I often do, just use HTML, when working on a completely solo project. If anyone else is going to touch the project, I find they can't do HTML - they do not know it, and on top they have a brainwashing that makes them unable to work in HTML. It's really amazing, they will literally stand behind social pressures as why they cannot. Then the users and the finished project: if it does not look like it was made using React, those same social pressures prevent them from using the project. They will use fashion arguments why they cannot. Seriously.

yeah fashion is a bit barrier to doing things better … I am trying to be anti fashion with https://harcstack.org
