The problem with react-scripts is that react-scripts uses an older, out of date webpack. If you want to use the newest version, the app would fail to render using react-scripts to run the project. React-scripts forces you to use 4.44.2, whereas the newest version of Webpack is 5.38.1. To me, that's enough of a jump to be considered a huge negative if you want to use webpack.
As always, you can install react-scripts on your own. The advantage I see to using this custom setup is that one, you don't have unused dependencies bloating your project. Using CRA, my boilerplate redux-typescript-mocha setup was 1.17 GB in size. without CRA's bloating, that size shrunk to 839. That's 331 MB less in size. react-scripts alone adds an additional 120~ mb.
So, I can get behind setting up my own projects instead of using CRA. if you need a template, you could always use CRA and then delete what you don't need afterwords.

Awesome, Brian. I would love to checkout your redux-typescript-mocha setup. Can you share the link to the repo, if it's open source?
Sure, github.com/c0dezer019/Stormcaster/... It's in the client folder.
Cool
