Allow me to ask the obvious question: How does Fast compare against React, Angular, VueJS, etc.?

Apples and oranges. A design system is a collection of components that fit a certain look-and-feel; it is not tied to the implementation so it can be implemented by React, Angular, or VueJS: https://www.fast.design/docs/integrations/introduction

My understanding is this is closer to something like Bootstrap but using Web Components (or material-ui if you want a react component set) than it is to React itself.

You'd probably still want to use React or similar ontop of it, but in the future we might get much lighter libraries covering that side of things.

Well, the focus on Web Components is good for cross-compatibility, but means not being able to do the full static analysis of components that you can do with JSX or equivalents.

It doesn't.

It's more comparable to something like Google Polymer[0]

They can be used in conjunction with eachother[1][2], so I'd imagine the same/similar would be possible with Fast.
