I've never used a JS framework and my JS skills are - at best - mediocre. Should I try to learn Vue or React?

So back end wise I'm a decent programmer. I'd like to think there's nothing I couldn't build. Code might not be beautiful or as elegant as other folks, but it'll work.

Front end wise there is also nothing I can't build, but I'm a simple HTML and CSS kinda guy. I can throw in some JS when required but really JS isn't my thing.

I want to go back and redo some of my front ends with a JS framework so that I can access some of the functionality that they provide, and also I just think that I should know how to do this shit.

The two candidates are Vue, or React. What do you think?

My framework of choice is Laravel.

Kubernetes - yeah it's cool but is it necessary?

I work at a pretty big company by day. Multiple billions in annual revenue - but it's NOT a tech company. It's basically retail.

Yeah we have a website (it's not e-commerce though, it's like a brochure website)

We have internal tools (stock management, a data team, etc etc)

We're fairly geographically localised... we're not international.

For a setup like that do you think Kubernetes is overkill?
