I really have to disagree with the premise. Maintaining the whole build process is a lot of work and very error prone.

I usually go a step futher and use the react-boilerplate template for create-react-app:

npx create-react-app --template cra-template-rb my-app
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This way I have a full structure and thoughtfully setup react app in minutes. With typescript, redux, redux-saga, styled-components included.

Sure, it ultimately boils down to your requirement. I'd like to have control over the configs and I'm confident about maintaining the build process so I gave it a try🙂
