React (and Om for cljs) looks extremely appealing but I imagine it is probably not possible to use non-React components e.g. jQuery and jQueryUI ones together with React code on the same page/app.
Can anyone confirm?

It's a bad practice because React uses a concept called a Virtual DOM instead of a real DOM. And React isn't aware of the changes made outside of this Virtual DOM. When you use jQuery or any other library that manipulates the DOM, React gets confused.
Use React lifecycle methods to initialize and tear down the jQuery plugin; Use React props as plugin configuration options and hook up to plugin's methods events; Destroy the plugin when component unmounts.
No. No approach is correct and there is no right way to use both jQuery and React/Angular/Vue together. jQuery manipulates the DOM by, for example, selecting elements and adding/deleting stuff into/from them.
While jQuery is a fine choice for simple web building, using animations and effects, React helps you perform more sophisticated functions and principally highlights UI development, DOM manipulation and the likes.
Yes, react can play well with your libraries.
