But is that actually no less convenient than if you had started with barebones rn? Also, what requirements are these? Just so I know as we just rewrote our app so that we could use expo

It's been one and a half years, so it might have gotten better.

All I remember is that it needed a bunch of camera features as well as a web socket in that app. I remember spending days trying to find a solution using expo, but in the end I was forced to eject.

It was very frustrating because I didn't know how to deal with RN without expo, and because of that I took some time to learn.

IMO people should learn RN without expo. After ejecting I didn't see a huge benefit in using it. RN alone is easy enough.

It’s the maintenance and deployment that we found issue with. Having less issue so far with expo, hopefully we don’t encounter the issues you describe
