For me I picked up React pretty quickly but I was using old school includes in the browser with the babel compiler.

I tried moving to a newer version and start using with npm and webpack and I got a little lost.

Started using the php framework laravel it has a mix package build in that makes everything very simple.

My advice for backend developers is to use either the laravel framework or standalone npm laravel's mix package.

With a simple command preseyts for vue, react, bootstrap come out of the box to allow you to focus on writing code vs setting up webpack or gulp or grunt and managing that yourself

There is nwb and create-react-app that takes care of initial configuration now. Unless you're gonna write everything from scratch you're gonna need to learn npm though.
