This is spot on. I've been slowly switching from class based React to hooks based with Suspense, and a couple of things have become super clear.

1) hooks are magical, finicky, abstraction that don't play well with promises. They save code at a cost of understandability, subtlety, and new rules. I wrote a ton of Perl, and fundamentally believe that 1 line is better than 2 lines, weirdly hooks are making me rethink that belief.

2) Throwing promises is super tricky... I just wrote a class based component to cache the results of a hook, so I could wrap it into a function that would throw. I am not proud. 5 layers of abstraction needed where the same thing in a class based structure would be 2.

3) The hard part of UI is and always will be state. React (initially) got it mostly right. Redux was a detour, and this seems a much better way forward.

Best of luck with this, I'll be rooting for you.
