First, if you want to use Django or either Express, you should develop an API which you will connect through with React.
Django offers you a big system pre-designed for you to only add another things, I'm talking about authentication.
By the other hand, express, is only a web server framework, you can use middlewares but you would have to make everything by yourself.
As I told you before, you have to consider your use case because it's the main reason that should make you decide between them.
As I told you before, you won't take advantage of most of MongoDB's features because Django's ORM is designed for relational databases. Sqlite is not a production-ready database, is normally used for local dbs.
Ok, how about with a Django backend? What would you use for middle and FrontEnd? As far as “familiar”, I’m familiar with react and Django. Then I’ve used sqlite3

Ok, I know how to connect React to Django. is MongoDB better than sqlite3?

Ok, what would you recommend to use together for a retail site, e-commerce or social/blog websites? THANK YOU
A relational database such us MySQL or PostgreSQL with express

If you want a Django backend you should make an API to interact with, but for sure you can't use Sqlite in production
Ok, so MySQL? Not MongoDB??
