Sorry you've had trouble with React Native in the past. The main benefit to using React Native over Ionic is that there is no Cordova anywhere in your project, everything is native.
Also ICYMI Expo added support for self-hosting your app over a year ago now. There is also a bare-workflow for Expo which enables you to easily add any native code to your app (released ~10 months ago). And as of recently you can add native packages very easily to any React Native project with the auto-linking feature created by Expo. It's a part of the react native community CLI and the Expo CLI so it's very accessible.
