Laravel Breeze API-Only vs. Laravel Fortify: Which to Choose for API Authentication?

Hello! I'm building a Laravel API for a React frontend and need to choose between Laravel Breeze (API-only) and Laravel Fortify for scaffolding my authentication. I know Breeze with the api flag sets up Sanctum and API routes quickly, while Fortify is headless and supports two-factor authentication (2FA) out of the box. I found a video where someone installed both Breeze and Fortify, then removed Breeze’s app/Http/Controllers/Auth folder to use Fortify’s actions in app/Actions/Fortify, relying on Breeze for Sanctum setup and to remove JavaScript packages (views and npm dependencies). Is this approach correct? or I should only choose one?

My questions:

1. For a simple API (login, registration, logout) with React, is Breeze the easier choice?
2. If I need 2FA, is Fortify the better option, or can Breeze handle it with minimal effort?
3. Which is more commonly used in professional Laravel API projects for job relevance?

Looking for insights from developers using these in real-world projects, especially with React / Vue integration. Thanks!
