While it's not ReactJS, my team is rebuilding our 10+ year old website with
AngularJS, Elastic Search and CF2016's Rest Services.

Setting up a Rest service in CF is pretty straightforward, although it can
be very tricky to debug if there is an issue. For instance, the error
reporting when refreshing your Rest service rarely will provide useful
information. If you're lucky, it will tell you the file that is causing the
issue, but not where in the file. Other times it tells you EVERY file has
an issue. The only way to get around that is to check the Exception logs.

Case sensitivity was always an issue with CF and JSON. We struggled with
that for awhile until update 2 was applied across the environments. That
saved us a lot of time.

Type casting in JSON was also an issue that is now fixed in one of the
updates. There were several times where forehead met the keyboard when
trying to convert a query result to JSON, but CF decided one field was a
number instead of a string when serializing the results.

But the biggest issue of all is not related to any of the technology or
languages. It's been a huge P.I.T.A. to figure out and/or remember the
business logic that has been in place for over a decade on a site that was
not well written :)
