First of all, don’t worry about “anti-patterns”, just do what makes sense to you as long as you don’t ship too many bugs. There is a whole industry (educational content, conferences, consulting) revolving around selling “best practices” and cures for “anti-patterns” so my advice is to be chill about them ;-)

As for your specific question, it depends. If most of my network requests don’t end up as useful actions changing the state, I wouldn’t use middleware for them, and just do them directly. However if most of them change the state, but a few don’t, I might use middleware for consistency. Don’t worry about “anti-patterns” and use your best judgement.
