I've always pointed folks to Gosha Arinich's posts on forms in React [0], as the best resource out there, particularly the post on "controlled vs uncontrolled inputs" [1]. (And if you really want to go in depth, he wrote a book on the topic as well. [2])
If you're looking for libs to help abstract working with more complex forms, Formik [3] and React Final Form [4] are probably your two best options.

Throwing my thin wrapper around Material-UI and Final Form into the mix. I personally prefer RFF over Formik because of RFF's ability to control renders.
