If that's really all you're tracking, then you're probably not going to get much benefit out of Redux. Then again, it's also possible that there wouldn't be much overhead in simply creating a Redux store, inserting a couple values, and connecting components to retrieve those.

Dan's post "The Case for Flux" [0] discusses what kind of use cases would benefit from a Flux architecture. That still very much applies to using Redux as well, and is worth reading. The Redux FAQ also has a section on "When should I use Redux?" [1]

There's nothing _wrong_ with passing down values as props, even through multiple levels - it's just that most people dislike doing so. You could make the values available using React's "context" feature, although it's likely that wouldn't be the best choice here. There's also a variety of "not-quite-Redux" libraries out there that try to simplify the interactions with Redux ("no reducers", "no dispatching", "no actions", etc), and perhaps one of those might be useful.
