gem oauth2 v2.0.10 released
This project sits underneath a large portion of the authorization systems on the internet. According to GitHub's project tracking, which I believe only reports on public projects, 100,000+ projects, and 500+ packages depend on this project. That is a lot of things to upgrade.

Managing redirects to a subdomain after authentication in a React/Rails application using React Router
I have a React single page application using React Router that hooks into a Rails 5 API. The Rails application uses devise_token_auth for authentication. I've successfully created an authentication process that stores the user state in a Redux store on the client side.

Is it possible to retrieve the user index with devise ?
Did you send an authorization header with your api call? The error is pretty clear — the request is unauthorized. Devise is expecting session cookies, but your api should use tokens. https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/devise_token_auth

Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs
I mentioned Identity in my first comment. I've never found it as simple as Devise though - especially in an API only setting.
With Devise there's a third-party Gem you can use called devise_token_auth which deals with everything automatically.

Working around un-maintained redux-token-auth for redux and react 17 upgrade
redux-token-auth is a great library. What it mainly does is it provides a plug and play auth implementation functionality for ruby on rails based APIs which implement popular devise_token_auth for auth handling.

Best project setup for Rails+React with "remember me" feature
I'd prefer to have a standalone rails API and a react client separately, but that's not mandatory. I discovered a gem called devise_token_auth and it didn't seem to have refresh tokens but it refreshed the tokens on every request anyway so I was pretty happy with it.
