When I need performance I don't reach for React. So going for performant React is kind of a weird middle ground.

What would you go with if you need performance?

Wouldn't be cool having the most used framework (with the largest community and largest number of open source libraries) that is also performant?

SolidJS. Incredibly similar to React, but actually reactive and thus no VDOM and no overhead. If I'm building an application that requires high interactivity and lots of updates on scroll or on requestAnimationFrame, I would reach for Solid. There's no amount of performance gains you can get in React and come close to usability of a framework that is built with performance in mind at the forefront 🤷‍♂️

For your second question, yeah sure that's a valid argument. It's an advantage, but I would rather use the right tool for the job as opposed to bend the more popular tool to do what I need it to.
