Absolutely zero difficulty redoing this in a react style renderer. The only complexity is being careful with your data dependencies so as to not needlessly rerender.
Each pane is easily isolated, can share data with a view model scoped properly, etc. Writing it in an imperative toolkit is a "oops I forgot to update my data here" kind of hell. Data binding makes it slightly less worse

I would not classify a react style renderer as "immediate mode". It has aesthetic similarities with IM GUIs, but ultimately there is a fully retained tree under the hood, that gets diffed/mutated on every update
