I love react but I made my portfolio site using no web framework (HTML CSS and JavaScript) because I didn't know react at the time of making. My site is pretty good and converting to react would make it sm easier to code with but is it worth it? Nobody is really gonna notice a difference besides me?
The main reason to use something like Gatsby (in my opinion) is if you have something like a blog. The main use of an SSR is when you have something that would normally be dynamic (like a blog) that you don't necessarily need a backend to use.
If you could get things done without any framework, that's definitely 100x better than with framework. Your code is lighter without the framework code. Framework should only be a tool to get things done easily. You don't have to do it just because it's "good". Although, if you think your site is going to be faster if you rebuild it with a framework, then it makes sense. But for a portfolio, I don't think anyone's gonna notice if it was built with React/Vue/Vanilla. But if you're curious to learn the framework, then go for it. I learnt a lot of things in React and Gatsby by experimenting things in my portfolio.
Of course employers notice when a candidate's portfolio is made with React, Vue or any other framework. It's the first thing they look at. At least for a frontend position.
