explicitly checked for as part of a QA process

After you've written the application? That makes absolutely no sense, unless you enjoy renaming lots of elements.

instead of relying on some vague standard of semanticness

It's not vague, there is an actual international standard... WCAG!

You deserve downvotes. Semantic HTML is a key part of making your website accessible for people with disabilities. Ignore it, and you shouldn't be making things for the web.

I find zero value in using ul/li's for lists that aren't bulleted

Browsers don't care. You may not care either. But people with disabilities attempting to make sense of your website do, very much so.

There's absolutely no reason __not__ to use semantic HTML, and many reasons to do so.

This looks promising, animations in React are a bit of a mess right now.

React-motion requires a PhD to figure out, and I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than use Transition Group.

I have had some moderate success with Popmotion, although I've also seen performance issues when staggering lists (likely down to my implementation rather than the library, but still).
