Why do jQuery at all now? IE 11 is no longer supported. All major browsers are evergreen and, except for some small edge cases that jQuery didn't really support anyways, they are pretty much completely unified in the APIs they support. If you are really worried about that 1% difference, then you can use tools like babel to cover those cases.

The only reason to reach for jQuery, IMO, is familiarity. If you don't want a framework, then just write vanilla js.
