I don't know much about your particular use case, but in my experience implementing an animation in CSS results in a smoother animation with better GL acceleration in the browser resulting in a lot less CPU/battery consumption.

So. There's that.

But otherwise I'm broadly in agreement. If you're making an online application, it pretty much requires JS. Not so much for CRUD db form apps/forums/blogs/wikis etc.

If you want decent/custom FE validation you do still need it

I assume "FE" means "form error" - personally I agree with you, but you can still make it work without it.. "progressive enhancement" where validation is still done serverside which is an absolute must even if you do use JS for that.

Also, HTML5 validation is pretty darn powerful these days. Check it out if you haven't already.

Probably "front end". But yeah, you can do a lot with just html and css.
