I am using Flutter Web I can say with certainty that RN has the same problems - no matter how old is the framework and how big the community. Cross platform may be made the UIs, UX, general flow of the app, but, Whenever you grab something native (plug-in) and you are for bad ass problems. The web is a little bit with more age, there are endless possibilities (combining HTML,js,CSS) than both oses. But, The native OSes offer better performance especially in the non-ui stuff, where cross techs actually bring (plugin) overhead. There is no silver bullet for everything..., Only, in some very distance future, with web assembly... Probably in a galaxy too far away
My main focus is JavaScript specialising in frontend UI with React. I like to explore different frameworks and technologies in my spare time. Learning languages (programming and real life) is a blast.

I think mobile development is a complete spectrum now.
You can spend time and make something fully native or use web technologies and be anywhere in between.
I agree, there is no silver bullet - just the right tool right now.

When Flutter recreates core UI elements like text inputs or scroll views, they assume a lot more issues than React Native.
I personally haven't encountered a lot - One problem that I stepped on is this: github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/...
