Go, Postgres and a dirt simple React/Typescript/Parcel app as the frontend. 99% of the time you won’t need anything else.

+1 Parcel. It really is a breath of fresh air after dealing with Webpack.
That's good to hear. I've been on the hunt for a replacement for create-react-app -- in my experience it's problematic in an enterprise environment. I love Webpack but I don't want to recommend it to junior developers. I'm hoping Parcel is a better candidate.
I wouldn't go that far. Parcel is fine for small stuff, but it doesn't allow nearly as much control as Webpack. In enterprise you're likely to run into limitations. Parcel 2 is supposed to get plugin support, but who knows if that'll be any better than Webpack.
