Open question for devs of FC: what do you think of Vercel and Next.js?

1/ For most startups choosing an opinionated framework to start off with is the best the way to go so you don't work on the wrong thing (tech instead of product). 

In JS usually you want to start with the most popular framework unless there is a paradigm shift coming.

2/ 

React is the most popular JS framework.
Next.js is the biggest opinionated react framework

Vercel is the easiest way to deploy Next.js (and good, but premium cost)

Remix does bring a paradigm change, but I think Next.js is heading in the same direction as Remix, so choosing Next now is still better (less glass)

A good alternative to React and Next is Svelte and SvelteKit. Not a popular recommendation, but it's very ergonomic.

I think that applies more to network-effect things. Although the React ecosystem is way larger than Svelte's, especially web3 related...
