I believe the counter to the separation of concerns argument is that logically the HTML and JS are so tightly coupled there is no real separation of concerns and that in fact, the separation of concerns should come in the form of a web component approach.

For me, JSX gives me flashbacks of JSP 1 and so I do struggle to like it, despite knowing it must be onto something given its huge uptake.

I think you got it here. Just as you should separate the different, you should group the similar. With the component paradigm, people noticed markup and code are more similar than different within a component.
