I want to add my opinions here:

 Is Flutter faster than React Native in Performance?

As you say, it does not matter, if you need performance go native. For other usecases it's more than enough. But at a lower level, I understand that flutter is in some senses more performant than react native. At least on some platforms.

 Is Flutter Hard to Find Documentation than React Native?

In my experience, having used both and many other frameworks I can confidently say that flutter docs are some of the best out there. It might be personal preference, but I almost always find what I look for, granted sometimes there's info or examples missing, but you can almost always find some other example elsewhere in those cases.

 Is Flutter vs React native Good for Big Projects?

I don't have experience with React native in big projects, but I can say that Flutter is great for big projects. At least in my experience it's a charm to work with, even at big scale. This is because of it's architecture which in some sense prevents us from doing stuff we shouldn't do. But it's not perfect of course xD

I'd say that this also depends on the teams experience with either solution, if your team is experienced in Flutter they will work a lot better on flutter than with React native, and viceversa. They will know how to architect and build the app so it can scale later on. If they choose a framework they don't have experience with it's trickier.

Will Flutter Replace React Native?

I doubt it, they each have their place. If you're comfortable writing in TS/HTML etc... you will be better of using React native, if you already know dart or flutter you will be better of with flutter.

They both have value, choice is good. Nobody likes monopolies.
