As others have said, I still don't really think it's applicable because learning hooks takes an hour or two, but to try and address that point: I don't really think the knowledge is non-transferable at all.
There's two aspects to learning hooks:
1. Learning the API. This is not a "conceptual" part of learning but rather "this function name does this thing". This is the same with learning any programming API and is almost always non-transferrable (with the minor exception of some open standards, except that varying implementations of them still tend to have quirks).
2. Learning the patterns and concepts around applying that API to problems. As far as I've seen just from TFA examples, they're very widely applicable. Memoization is widespread. Functional style is widespread. The most complex stuff handled by the quoted examples is maintaining state in nested hashtables, which is such a widespread concept that observable/immutable libraries like MobX et al & ImmutableJS et al have been written pretty much focused entirely on this problem space.
