React + GraphQL + jotai is my preferred stack
Needing Jotai on top of React's defacto state management is the issue. TFA talks about an ecosystem of libraries that attempt to fix React's shortcomings. Pure React does have undeniable shortcomings like proper, non-brittle routing.
I don't think jotai adds a lot of complexity though, and like I said most of the time you don't need it. It just makes syntax a bit nicer to read and write, but you could do it with context if you really wanted to.
Here's a video on how to use Jotai by writing your own in minutes: https://youtu.be/gg31JTZmFUw
All of these libraries are standard and easy to approach; when I was freelancing, my onboarding on React projects was incredibly quick, and I pushed bug fixes and features within the first few hours of joining a project. React's productivity boost is often overlooked; most developers should easily understand a fairly well-written React component connected to a Redux store.
Yes they'll know the React part. It's the Redux/Mobx/React Router/whatever snowflake libraries you chose part that will be more difficult. I really don't like incomplete solutions personally.
