> Isomorphic codebase, you can share the majority of your code with the client/server since it's Node on the backend and ES2015 on the frontend

I've been working for 20 years on this, last 8 ~ 9 only with node and React and not a single time, other than sharing some validation rules and/or for SSR, got anything useful out of having the possibility of running the same code in the browser and on the server... totally different responsibilities, libraries, requirements and environments.
