I would think you have two options:

1. Use a WordPress theme which just loads your React files
2. Use an index.html which loads your React files

There should not be a lot of NGINX configuration needed. Just make sure `index.html` comes before `index.php`, and put the `index.html` file in the web folder.

None of that is tested, but if you’re just kicking off JavaScript, no need to overthink it.
