It sounds bad, but if you can, do oldschool SSR with HTMX or the like.
It's sooooo much better. I was paid to develop frontends in React for 4 years, I wrote my first website in 2005... I am currently migrating one client project from React to HMTX and it's sooooooooo incredibly much better.
There are less bugs, less footguns with wrongly applied hooks...
If you need to do CSR, use Solid or Vue, but don't do React.

If you have no say in it: good luck!
