Maybe you can with heroic effort, but you shouldn't. You should build within the constraints of your tools. HW + Stimulus are great - good enough for what most web apps need to do. It gives you "traditional web app, with a bit of realtime updating" - which is the perfect fit for most web apps.

But you wouldn't want to use it for a fully interactive desktop style application with lots of interacting components.

Agree. So unless you have a pretty big budget and you're building Google Maps or Figma you shouldn't use React.

Sadly, everyone things they have such a big budget and they're building the next Figma. Even if you're building a CRUD app. (I'm talking to you previous team of mine).
