I'm coming to the end of a build of an RN app for a startup with lots of custom mapping and graphing stuff. It leans heavily on MapboxGL and react-native-svg to do some cool stuff. Building the same thing natively would have taken at least 3* longer, and there haven't been any particularly bad hacks necessary. I've been impressed by the performance too. I have no regrets about using RN.
