I really like React.js and use it all the time, and I recently started using Typescript with it after years of sticking with Flow. I actually really like Next.js and would use it again, it just wasn't a good fit for a Markdown powered site. I'd consider using it again in future if I wanted something with a database, but I'd be sure to use Typescript and I'd use https://www.prisma.io/ for the ORM.
If you're going Laravel, I strongly suggest taking a look at https://inertiajs.com/. If you're only going to be building the API for your JS front-end to communicate with, you can skip the "api-ness" of it and just write your controllers like you would if you were building Blade views. Avoids doubling up on routing, you can keep your routing all on the backend. Simplifies auth cause you can just use cookies and not bother with tokens which inherently introduce security risks (local storage in browsers is less secure than session cookies).
