The consensus is that "good frontends need to be all done in JS, whether React or Vue or Angular or ...".
It's like the blockchain craze that thankfully has passed. A few years ago, any company worth anything had some kind of blockchain project, because "everyone knew" that blockchain was some magic thing that would make your business (and your product) better. Certainly some levels of upper management believed this, and they saw their peers embracing it.
It's the same, but older, for JS-heavy frontends.
The point is that we should carefully re-evaluate how we got here and if we indeed have reaped rewards great enough to compensate for the immense additional complexity.
