It really depends on what you have to do deal with.
API are also made to be a bit stronger as all we send in Front can be seen.
Making a custom Backend for me is way to complicated, I use to go with Nextjs, it offer the possibility to have an hybrid app if I can say. The parts you to be handle server side can(mostly when user is authenticated) and also static parts.

Don't know if I answered your question but:
1 - Use env. variables
2 - If you want the confort of React but have to deal with sensitive datas and want them to be serve by backend try Nextjs
