I haven't experienced or don't have good advice for 1-3, unfortunately.

For

Missing a way of checking out the exact layout of things.

There's a layout inspector in the built in developer menu (cmd+d in the iOS simulator) under "show inspector". It's not as nice as the ones browsers have these days, but it can get the job done.

You can also hook the React devtools up to an RN app. There's a few options out there, but I prefer React Native Debugger, it's got them and a bunch of other tools built in.

Hope that helps, happy React Native-ing!
