I think a lot of these issues are symptomatic of front-end oriented toolkits trying to solve combined frontend and backend issues, causing oodles of arbitrary complexity.

It's hugely beneficial for some kinds of projects/teams, but so much of the challenge is simply due to domain impedence and using suboptimal tools for the job. Client-oriented solutions to server-client issues have some fundamental limitations.
