It's a minimal, lightweight library best for simple state needs but lacks the built-in features of more comprehensive solutions.

State management requiring extensive built-in features like RTK, state updates with in-place mutation of objects

Lightweight state management (3kb vs Redux bloat).

FAILED

I've talked to plenty of folks who said we essentially rebuilt RTK because Zustand didn't have enough built in, we probably should have just chosen RTK in the first place.

One gotcha I ran into: the game engine mutates state in-place, so setting Zustand state with the same object reference caused React to skip re-renders. Fixed by always spreading { ...state } on updates.
