> and then I realized that I was basically trying to reinvent some of Knockout, but with TSX templates.
You may like Vue with TSX.

React's reactivity model is "inverted" from almost every other model out there. Vue, to me, feels the most like Knockout. I also find that I rarely run into edge cases compared to React and Vue feels the most like OG HTML.
I did investigate Vue with TSX at one point. It wasn't for me, but I did like Vue with TSX over Vue's primary template language.
A part of the way I see it is that Knockout promised "Observables" and `computed` was sort of the distracting fork away from something like RxJS Observables. Now that fork seems to be named "Signals". I'm not a fan of "Signals" and think they miss a lot of the power and elegance of "real" Observables like RxJS. I understand the appeal of the "magic" of `computed` tools. I better appreciate the power of the larger toolbox of RxJS operators. (I also think Observables are a lot easier to unit test than `computed`. A good "marble test" is a thing of beauty.)
For what it is worth, my RxJS-based solution: https://github.com/WorldMaker/butterfloat
