I feel like this is a a great example of why state management choices matter. It always bothers me when people say "Never use XYZ" because XYZ makes sense in some cases, not in others.

I prefer Redux/RTK for my app because it has multiple many-to-many data relationships with async CRUD touching them, simultaneously at times. Having the freedom to design my logic/network flows independently of my data flows is pretty great. But it exposes complexity as a tradeoff.
