Or just go straight to esbuild. I've found vite just makes things more complicated and slower. Particularly, the "smart reloading" breaks in subtle ways and turning every source file into a request doesn't scale well. This can probably be configured away somehow, but again, that just makes things more complicated.
Vue, Nuxt or Svelte are even better. No need to waste time and energy with React and it's peculiarities. However, if you want or must React, then Remix, hands down.
While I very much like svelte, it's not fully mature yet and it doesn't have a very deep ecosystem, plus the additional hiring time/cost basically means building anything other than a small scale solo project with it is going to end you up in the red.
On the Vue vs React debate, honestly it comes down to preferring templates vs components. Vue is simpler but there are good reasons for a lot of the React complexity, and React still has a stronger ecosystem and more developers.
