I'd use Backbone. It's old (relative to other JS stuff) but stable. It's one thing to learn and has all the pieces (model, views, events, router). Plenty of resources online or in paper form.
If you want, try applying some of the ideas of the "modern" tools to Backbone: make a backbone view that has two models - one for data (aka React props) and one for view state (aka React state). Bind both model "change" events to your view's `render` method. It won't have the performance boost of React virtual DOM diffing - but you get some of the other design benefits.
