I get that emoji reactions are a quick and succinct way of acknowledging a message. I constantly use this in instant messengers myself. Big fan, etc etc.
But within the email space this is was built without any compatibility between clients/providers (looking at you, Outlook and Gmail). What it means is that instead of a discreet notification somewhere in my email client, I'll get a full fledged "👍️ Fulano reacted to your message" email message.
Does it take me more effort to read than a "OK got it" message? Not really, no, but it feels just as mechanized as an out-of-office reply, and those are really annoying.
IMO support for this sort of thing should be flagged withinin the email message's headers by the MTA (or even the email client), so that the recipient wanting to react is prevented from doing it, or at least informed that the user on the other end will receive a rather impersonal email.
