i've seen advice on the webs for useReducer instead of a lot of useState's...which feels a lot closer to the class-component this.setState().

is there a good reason not to uniformly rely on useReducer everywhere in a codebase?

Because you have to write more code. If all you have is a single variable that gets updated with no complex logic then writing a reducer seems excessively boilerplatey.
