To be honest, I'd say a good 80% of websites are a variation around the same theme: authenticate a user and let them CRUD resources following a pretty standard access model. I guess OP would like to see an easy solution for all these websites that does 80% of the job of such an application, and let the user configure the fine details of how resources are displayed rather than code how layers are going to interact between each other, even though this interaction is pretty much already known.
Of course, you won't be able to do that "with React", much like you won't be able to do that "with MongoDB" only, that was a bit short-sighted. And of course a generic stack won't be able to scale to the size of Twitter or Instagram or Reddit. Which means that engineering time should be spent on scaling, not on gluing your Express application with your React frontend for the n-th time.
