I disagree. I'd argue React is most useful when doing something highly interactive.
There's nothing stopping you from writing imperative, side-effect heavy code. But it's something you deliberately opt into, usually on the edges of the program, rather than something you have to deal with by default. Absolutely nothing about React discourages this.
