Great points. It's critical to get up to speed in how to properly use a language before venturing into any of its frameworks. Like you said, I've seen a few cases already where I suspect people rushed into learning how to build apps with React before gaining mission-critical skills in JS.

I also agree that once you've gained a high level of proficiency in a certain stack, that you can move on to specializing in other technologies as well. I suppose the key is simply not to rush, and to make sure that we are learning stuff deeply before diving into something else.
