For one project we did recently we also used only Django and its templating system despite all the fancy SPA frameworks (React and Vue) we used on other projects. This project was a CRUD app with a lot of master/detail pages (tables and forms) and very little dynamic content.

We used StimulusJS[1] for adding dynamic stuff like table sorting, filtering, pagination, form validation and uploads. All tables were rendered server side (including changing pages, which just rendered the table body on the server) and we just used Django Model Forms. Using StimulusJS allowed us to structure the JavaScript code into modules and controllers which allowed us to reuse code on frontend without any complicated frameworks.

There was no requirement for a REST API so doing a SPA would be a waste of time.
