If it works for you and is easily maintained by whoever is looking after it, great.

In my experience, sooner or later you're gonna want modern functionality / user experience and you're in for a world of pain trying to hack it together with jQuery.

These days I'd only use jQuery for sites where I'm the sole developer and the project won't change much over time. Or for legacy projects where the cost of moving everything to an SPA wouldn't be worth it.

If you're not the only developer on a project and the project is liable to morph over time, jQuery will be a costly mistake.
