Our team uses hooks only, as we found classes distasteful. Most projects can be built without redux, too. React + tailwind goes a long way, lol, but yea redux has its own use case if and only if you need it

I don't think hardly anyone uses classes anymore, but classes vs hooks are implementation details. The important thing is the react compositional model, and it's easiest to learn that without any other tooling.

I'm sure redux has a few use cases, but the primary use case I've seen is "I've coded myself into a corner and I don't want to refactor anything."
