People certainly unify their stack on JS that way. For Contexte their team was one React/JS dev, two Django/python, and one full stack. So they had two and a half people writing python and one and a half writing Javascript before, then three python developers after.

Switching to JS would require a full backend rewrite. The backend devs may not do well with the switch, so they may have let go two developers and needed to hire a new JS dev. The presenter may have been let go with that approach, clearly not ideal for the person driving the project.

You'd also need to address the perf issues. htmx clearly sped things up. Is the alternative JS SSR?
