Just my experience when I was trying out OCaml (I was mostly trying it out for frontend using the bucklescript-tea package) was that most people in that space used the ReasonML syntax. I don't remember my exact issues, but I was trying to avoid using the reason syntax because I preferred OCaml's. There were a couple of hurdles I needed to get over before being able to even really begin. This was probably 3-4 years ago, so things may have changed.
