Yes, but then you’d lose the benefits of using JSX, which could be a matter of preference, but I feel it’s still a better way of reasoning about your website.
I’ve built things in vanilla HTML/CSS/jQuery, Jekyll, WordPress, and Webflow, and the React + Contentful combo provides the best developer experience, in my experience, because it matches how I think about this.
By all means, go for the technology that makes you the most productive. Even if it’s not the most comfortable (because of the learning curve) to you at first.

You can get all of that with a decent CMS (eg Craft) apart from the hosting on Github bit.
