One problem is people reach out to client-side code earlier than they should.

90% of websites have no need for Javascript. Of those that do 90% won't be needing any "take over the world" frameworks, just little sprinkles of Javascript or jQuery.

Not to mention most required uses of Javascript are interaction related. At least let me read the landing page without having me enable javascript instead of greeting me with a blank page.

I agree. I think 90% of the "problem" with React or Redux is that people espouse using "the right tool for the job", but almost never practice it when the right tool is unsexy.
