Unless there is code which explicitly needs jQuery, most bindings/helpers are available here: http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/

Since you're building such a website, a common option for you may be to use a lightweight framework like Svelte/Sapper as your client. I've been using this for most projects with a Django backend.

Svelte is nice, and pages can be rendered server side for the initial rendering, which is nice for progressive enhancement. They have a nice tutorial : https://svelte.dev/tutorial/

I'd consider vanilla JS anyway and switch to a framework if things get too complicated.

edit: one can go a very long way with just HTML/CSS now, and this allows very fast and accessible websites.
