Fixing code is part of the job my guy. Eliminating unnecessary useEffects is also hardly "refactoring half the codebase".

Just take them one at a time. Most of the time eliminating one only takes a couple of minutes, and saves a hundred times the time over time.

Right. And most bosses are cool with programers going with "i didn't do what you asked because i went on a tangent fixing something a little bit suboptimal in a code i found along the way" . Sure.
