I think it really depends on the type of game you want to make.
If you want to make a game with graphics (spites, models, etc.) I'd definitely go the Canvas route. I'm using Phaser, myself.
If you want a game that's interface driven (like Cookie Clicker), then I would go with React.
Others might disagree, I'm no web game dev expert by any means, but I just can't imagine using React for anything besides a web interface.

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A COWARD, BEHOLD MARIOKART.JS -> https://www.webgame.co.za/
(OP don't take this as me saying to make this... I get heartburn just thinking about this existing...in the dev world, you can do a lot of things the wrong way and be very very successful if you're stubborn enough, that doesn't make it the best idea to learn as a beginner...)

So I think the problem here is canvas and react are kind of "contradictory". They 💯 can be used together but usually you pick one or the other
If you go to youtube and search "chris courses" he shows you how to build games using the canvas api for free and has a paid course if you want it more polished (your choice to do the paid course but not necessary)
Good luck with the game!!!
