[oh_boy]

My job is to build frontends on top of various client management systems and figured out, that I get more maintainable code and am more productive using the templating of the CMS itself instead if decoupling the frontend from the CMS entirely.

So since two years, I use the Hotwired stack on top of PHP (and now with Vite as bundler) and that is so far the best solution I found. I can like use the CMS integrated solution for handling forms, as an example, but can plug in Hotwired Turbo and some Stimulus controllers when I want things to happen async on the client. I now have my own set of generic stimulus controllers I reuse in every project. But at the end of the day, those websites work without JavaScript.
