Having done both commercially, I tend to much prefer Vue, especially Vue 3. I like its reactivity model a lot better. Nearly everything works out simpler / faster than doing it in react. Not to mention you can still do jsx/tsx if you want to in Vue ( or even use pure js/ts ). Template syntax has an advantage in that various optimizations for updates can be done because the DOM can only be changed through specific mechanisms. Any js/ts only rendering can't be generally optimized as it could do anything.

I agree with EVERYTHING you said! Vue 💚
