Has anyone had a success with using "React Native for Web" for a Web-first consumer site (for desktop and mobile, including heavy plain text entry at times), but also being able to use the same React Native code to go to the iOS and Android app stores (when you reluctantly also satisfy those consumers who really-really want to install native apps)?

Bluesky. They use Expo on top of React Native, use React Native for Web (with a desktop and mobile), and for mobile native apps.

Let's note that because the clients are fully open-source and on GitHub, people from Expo and React Native are helping the little team behind the clients improve performance over time: it's not their final form!
