One project I've recently come across that illustrate a lot of what you're talking about is the Reaction e-Commerce framework: https://reactioncommerce.com/

The thing is so over-engineered that they had to do a makefile that clones the project for you. And I don't know what they're doing, but the thing is unusable on a Mac (it's supposedly related to filesystem operations in Docker -- why are you doing so many?).

I could go on and on. I spent 2 days trying to make this work properly, but in the end I decided that if I need to do a Web store, I'll go with something else.

Also evaluated Reaction ~9 months ago and came to the same conclusion. A React/Node eCommerce framework sounds like an interesting possibility but this project looks like a hot mess.
