React is my main stack as well! It seems like there's been a few changes since I last worked with it, but it's still relatively understandable.

Honestly, I'd be happy enough to write purely React code for the next 5 or 10 years, but I do find all of the extra skills required of a front-end developer to be completely mind numbing... Cloud deployments, build routines, databases, etc.

What skills/technologies do you think are mandatory to know in 2024?

The same things. Ops, quality code, people skills, debugging, networking, multiple languages for multiple use cases based on whatever your company does, a little ML understanding and distributed systems.

The field moves fast, but fundamentals are forever
