Are you suggesting that requiring React experience for a job where you will use React is not a reasonable ask?

It's usually perfectly reasonable, but not really optimal. In this job market requiring React seems worse than hiring someone that is a good frontend developer and has the wits and eagerness to pick up React and whatever tools the team uses, and the job requires.

This has the advantage that when - inevitably - tool1 gets deprecated and tool2 arrives you'll have someone that can adapt and learn, and likely you'll also have someone who can teach.
