Mind you in my case the designer just really does JSX templating with it and styling. The wiring, plumbing, state and so on is not her business.
The reason I use React is mostly its composable, simple templating abstraction and the fact that it works both on the server and the client.
UX is generally improved. If a site/app is done well, it will work w/o JS enabled, loads fast and transitions even faster.
JS typically makes things better, not worse. What makes sites slow is putting in external and/or heavyweight stuff: ads, analytics, tracking, fonts, images and so on.
