#2I tried Vite with rails for development once, as you can set it up to automatically reload when any html/CSS/js changes, but in the end I didn't think it was worth the extra hassle of more configuration and dependencies on the JavaScript ecosystem. I personally prefer the simplicity of the "no build" setup with importmaps.

Then just use React. There's nothing stopping you and it's well supported.
You can use either https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails
or https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails
Personally would also go with a No Build set up. i.e. https://hotwire.io/ and import maps.
