I think there is a lot of confusion around what Expo provides. You certainly don’t have to be using their managed workflow to take advantage of the platform.
I’ve used Expo modules and services at both Tesla and SpaceX for building large scale apps. I’ve consistently found that their modules are some of the best maintained in the ecosystem.
One of the biggest technical risks we face is building a feature around a module that is later abandoned. Using Expo, we don’t really have to worry about this. Web support is also a huge plus (web support in other RN packages is hit or miss).
