react({ jsxRuntime: 'classic' }) is needed for React 16 https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/main/packages/plugin-react/README.md#jsxruntime
Then you need to manually have import React from "react" for jsx files https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-n8d2mc?file=tsconfig.app.json. You can use compilerOptions.jsx: "react" to ensure typescript help catching missing React.
