I typically use DRF + Django for the backend and then have one “view” that renders an index.html with a context bridge (passed via a global JS variable) so I can bootstrap the front end with enough server side state to load quickly (and do feature gating and whatnot).

Seems to be a great combo to me - you get all the awesomeness of Django/DRF and none of the more archaic html temperate rendering stuff.

The only bad bit I’ve found in Django is lack of real websocket support when it’s needed. Server side events are great to have.

What do you mean by "real"?
