That is a good summary of the options for Haskell web development. The author of this slide deck also wrote "Beginning Haskell." I bought this book and like it. That said I have an addiction to buying Haskell books :-) Personally, I use Yesod for complicated apps, otherwise Spock.

I'd like to see something like this, but with JSON-based APIs instead of HTML templating.

"aeson" is the go-to library for producing and parsing JSON in Haskell.

Does it support a "React" style of building web applications?

It looks like a good start. I've been trying to learn Haskell and F Sharp and other functional languages and always wondered if there was a web option.

You should check out PostgREST, a tool to expose Postres tables through a JSON APIs: https://github.com/begriffs/postgrest

thoughtbot's carnival is a good example of a JSON API written with Yesod: https://github.com/thoughtbot/carnival
