No? React is surprisingly small, and if you're in dependency hell then fix that. The alternative is another idiom.
And if you glue packages together you're basically reinventing frameworks. This can be a good thing or a bad thing.
Regardless of your choice between glueing libs or a framework, you'll end up with tons of dependencies for most non-trivial projects anyway.
