I tried Vite with rails for development once, as you can set it up to automatically reload when any html/CSS/js changes, but in the end I didn't think it was worth the extra hassle of more configuration and dependencies on the JavaScript ecosystem. I personally prefer the simplicity of the "no build" setup with importmaps.

But what if you want to use React?

Then just use React. There's nothing stopping you and it's well supported.

You can use either https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails

or https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails

Personally would also go with a No Build set up. i.e. https://hotwire.io/ and import maps.
