I think I learned Elm for all the same reasons you listed.

Also am just tired of maintaining giant react apps that are slow and full of bugs.

Trying to evangelize Elm at work as much as possible these days in hopes of writing Elm full-time

How do you go about it?

Making short presentations with demos, benefits/advantages over React. Sharing my blog posts about it, and overall just talking about it with coworkers

Nice.

Is there a part of the app that you're working on that's been a constant source of bugs?

Maybe you can rewrite it in Elm to make an even stronger case for using it.

I like the approach Evan recommends here.

... it is important to be strategic in choosing your first project. Do not just write Elm code because you like it. Fix a problem.
