I'm a fellow django + react developer. What are your thoughts around moving to Next.js?

In my opinion: nothing, and I do mean nothing, comes close to the productivity of Django + Forms + FormSets + Admin. I've tried everything under the sun[1]
The model->form and presentation layer is so intuitive and robust that I'm surprised no JS framework has rebuilt it. Too much is focused around REST instead of domain specific inputs / outputs.[2]
So yea, I've focused on making Django more React-friendly. I want to stick to it.
[1] Ok, maybe Rails comes close.
