It really depends on what kind of state you're storing. For UI or other client stuff usually a context provider is enough. For server data/state I started using React Query a lot more. It syncs server data across components that use the same cache key, which is really powerful.
Just curious - have you applied this in big React applications?
The reason I'm asking is because all context consumers get re-rendered immediately upon context value update. It might be ok for small apps but bigger apps can suffer.
Small to medium this can definitely work, large scale ( ex. Airbnb ) still works better with redux but i still see people misusing redux in smaller apps where you don't really need it
It's not just redux people really like to overengineer stuff nowadays
