If DOM manipulation is rarely needed then your web app isn't complex, it's at most a collection of CRUD pages. UI Frameworks like React are for building UI's that accomplish a lot more than that through frequent DOM manipulation. If all you need is CRUD then templating frameworks still exist, are well maintained, and widely in use.

Even in complex apps, most of the DOM remains the same and you are changing several properties (some text, changing some classes).

That's not true as soon as your UI contains conditional logic or a list of elements, at least one of which will be present in almost every web application.
