> Does React use a shadow DOM? Yes
No. You must be confusing it with virtual DOM.
As for React, what we are currently observing is that 1) it's a fairly large library in itself (~50kB of minified gzipped javascript); 2) it has a relatively slow DOM update mechanism; 3) it rerenders too eagerly, making it too easy to further degrade performance; 4) it's a lock-in into a non-standard jsx syntax, forever tying you to preprocessors.
What conclusions an architect would make looking at all this, I do not know.
