First off, thanks for the back-and-forth :) I really appreciate it!
That's a great point - I think I've already started running into that fuzzy boundary when I've tried using frameworks. Most of my TypeScript experiments have been pretty vanilla, just learning how the canvas works and things like that, but a few things I tried to do with a TS/React project proved trickier than expected.
It seems like, once again, the fabled missing ingredient is Other People! Funny how that works. Another goal of mine for the near future is a first PR, maybe I should focus on some plain JS codebases to explore.

Give yourself some credit -- the canvas can get pretty vicious once animation frames are involved!
Oy - I more meant vanilla as in free of external dependencies but you are not wrong!
