Htmx and Web Components: A Perfect Match
I had some 'fun' figuring out how to deal with not going through create-react-app without doing a full eject, got something barely working ... and discovered https://craco.js.org/ already existed and did precisely what I'd part-implemented except better.
On the upside, by that point I knew the CRA codebase well enough to predict what it would do even in edge cases, and CRACO's implementation was immediately comprehensible, and none of my colleagues had to try and understand my half-arsed NIH version.
(avoiding being in any of this situation in the first place would likely have been preferable, but given where things were when I landed on the project in question that would've required a TARDIS)

Gzip Compression and IIS Setup on Windows Server for React Projects
If you initiated your React application using create-react-app, leverage @craco/craco to override your webpack configuration.

Build a web editor with react-monaco-editor
Ejecting a React app is a bad idea because our application will lose all the React configurations and will not benefit from the CRA updates. Some solutions for ejecting our application include using packages like react-app-rewired or rewire. You can also use CRACO to eject your React application, but it needs you to install additional plugins.

How are you building React applications? It's time to move on from Create React App
So, instead of entirely managing these configuration files, teams took to utilizing tools such as Craco to override configurations. These tools also come with their limitations: they were not updated as quickly as CRA, so there was always a lag in implementing new features, and they added an extra layer of complexity to existing tools through overrides and additional tools.

How to start a React Project in 2023
I am not much of a fan of CRA myself but I am very much glad that https://craco.js.org exists - so far it's handled my needs for tweaking CRA behaviour in situations where "eject" didn't seem like a good route to take.
Mostly tbh to stop the freaking thing spawning inotify watchers for the entire contents of node_modules - I don't mind having to do a manual restart when I've changed dependencies and I definitely -do- mind having it eat a shedload of my user's inotify kernel allocation. (I know you can up the allocation, that's not the point, why are you on my lawn? :)

As I mentioned, in our case, the perfect tool for this job is CRACO. It will let us simply overwrite CRA’s configuration without ejecting.

Working with Ant Design in React - Customization
Or I could use Craco with Craco-less. Craco 6+ doesn't work with 5+ versions of react-scripts. I know I could use yarn instead of NPM which doesn't stop the installation of craco, but it can't be the solution. We can't scrap the project and restart. Further, Craco 7-alpha installs but then craco-less doesn't.

CRA vs Parcel
If you want to customize the webpack configuration, you either need to eject, or to work against the package (with yarn patch, forking react-scripts, or using CRACO which is the easiest). But none of them are officially maintained by the CRA team.

Running React Native everywhere: The Web
If Create React App supported Yarn workspaces out-of-the-box, what we've done so far would have been enough to run the app... unfortunately, it doesn't. Luckily, we can use CRACO (or other tools such as customize-cra or react-app-rewired) to customize the Webpack configuration used by Create React App to resolve packages imported from other workspaces.

Enhancing Chrome Extension developer experience with CRA (create-react-app)
Now, for customize-cra to work we need to modify the config-overrides.js file once again. The override method from customize-cra receives a list of functions, so we need to change the signature like this:

Run your React Native app on the web with React Native for Web
Eventually, you might need to customize your project beyond what Create React App allows you to do. Most of these customizations will probably be just slight changes to the Webpack and Babel configuration of Create React App where ejecting would be overkill — which is why you might wanna use something like react-app-rewired, customize-cra, or craco to apply these changes without ejecting.
What are some alternatives?
react-app-rewired - Override create-react-app webpack configs without ejecting
webpack - A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.
