Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Redux and other state management libraries are often unnecessary and even detrimental for modern React development, especially for typical enterprise applications. Instead of relying on global state managers, devs should use API caching, browser caching, and props for managing data. Most "state" is actually API data and proper component modularization with `useState` and custom hooks can handle complex UI state well enough in most cases.
