As someone just getting into mobile development, I've enjoyed using it significantly more than native iOS/Android. It's so much faster and more straightforward to spin up designs,

Until your first update. I assume you didn’t work on anything that has been released?

The app was developed over a year ago and then came back to it for significant feature development.
The update wasn't terrible.
What happens when you do the first update? Have you used Expo?

Its not so bad. He is referring to RN updates, e.g. from 0.61.5 to 0.62
Its annoying, but I succeeded in upgrading in one project in about 1 hour. Just basically comparing the example code diff on github.
perhaps older version had more changes and weren't documented as well.
irrelevant comment: I hate Expo as it fails to be a helpful abstraction on top RN.
Update as in you application update or dependency update?
If you know native at the same level, RN is in now way faster.

I don’t know anyone that is equally proficient in Android and iOS development at any high level.
