In the "Can I use React without a framework?" section, they suggest rolling up your sleeves and just use a bundler like Vite - that's what we do here.
This PR mostly prepared just by following public guides, such as

Note that vitest just hit 1.0 three days ago (as of this writing) so it's good timing for us to demonstrate adoption. We got some confidence in this recommendation since Sourcegraph recently did it: https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/57886
