I'd argue that what you probably want in a new project (possibly with legacy db), is a graphql wrapper for your db, and a single-page js app (react/vue/elm/etc.) front-end.

Which means the server side would need a way to wrap the db for graphql (along with a way to set up authorization), and the front-end would need to be able to discover/generate the crud parts.

If you really want a "legacy"/"traditional" framework (fat appserver handling form input, rendering html, talking to db backend), I think the mature ones will be hard to beat (eg: django).
