While I like react and react native, i still think requireing to run a JS interpreter in order to run a native "like" app is still not good engineering practice. I'm betting on multi-platform-projects (MPP) with Kotlin and Kotlin-Native. Engineering wise much more sound, however the iOS and Android platform should have some more support for Reactive like UI's. Without needing JavaScript.

Flutter is a reactive framework that uses Dart, not JavaScript, if that's more to your liking.

Pardon my ignorance, but isn't Flutter a little immature too? I remember playing with it and Dart a while ago, still didn't seem to have everything necessary to ship something to production.

With that said, I think Dart isn't really a language popular enough to replace JS in big projects right now.
