As I continue to share feedback I hope will be helpful, I wanted to explain that the only reason I even circled back to the land of Saltarelle-style C# to JavaScript transpilers was because of this blog post demonstrating what's possible today with Bridge.NET + React + Redux. Honestly, it looks promising but messy because it is missing support from the toolchain.
This is a rapidly moving target except that at this moment as React begins moving away from legacy browsers there is a unique opportunity to provide a solid platform for enterprise developers stuck targeting those browsers. It may be too early to bet on the right horses, but the opportunity here could grow into something similar to what has already been done with the Ext.NET project!
At this point I plan wander off into pure-JSX land with React.NET because Bridge.NET is focused more on the transpiling than the JavaScript libraries/frameworks. This definitely makes sense, but I look forward to a future similar to what WebSharper is pursuing (though they're currently stuck with F#).
I did also want to be sure to mention that I was impressed by the professionalism of the project and especially the willingness to help developers who are hitting edge cases of the technology stack.
