The zeitgeist is that hooks are easier to reason about than life cycle methods, functional components are more lightweight and result in less bundled code.

It's more of a hype train than a "zeitgeist". Major community contributors like Jared Palmer have stepped forward in the past year to critique the complexity of React hooks.

Personally, I think blindly adopting the latest frontend trends is the opposite of being "radically pragmatic".

What's more pragmatic than not being precious about what technology decision is most perfect and instead going with what's popular and has a lot of community support?
