React is just the UI piece of the puzzle. Here's a nice description of when to use Redux: "[Redux is justified when] you have a piece of data that needs to be used in multiple places in your app, and passing it via props makes your components break the single-responsibility principle (i.e. makes their interface make less sense)" (https://github.com/petehunt/react-howto/issues/12#issuecomme...) This comment was written for Flux, but it is completely applicable for Redux. When building something non-trivial, there are other pieces you'll want to pull in with React such as routing, messaging, etc.

I'd recommend starting with "React How To" by Pete Hunt [1] - it's one of the best collections of starter guides you'll need to get started with React. And then you can always look at awesome-react. [2] [1] https://github.com/petehunt/react-howto [2] https://github.com/enaqx/awesome-react

The article mentions https://github.com/petehunt/react-howto. Its a damn good place to start.

Don't start with a full stack, it can be overwhelming. Start with a minimal toolkit and only add stuff when you actually run into pain points that it can solve. This guide is a good one: https://github.com/petehunt/react-howto
