The React model makes sense because of how state management is part of it, not strictly just the view. I think seeing it just as a view library necessarily leads to the rest of your other conclusions. I recommend reading https://overreacted.io/react-as-a-ui-runtime/ by Abramov which describes React as a UI runtime.
Embracing React as a UI runtime you eventually find problems that concurrent mode solves. Some are related to performance and concurrency, but some are related to managing state and data dependencies. It also provides idiomatic ways that encourage good UX (like managing error/loading conditions once, at the right level).
