There's nothing wrong about that. Your existing options remain and WILL remain. The new options just feel more productive (but that's subjective too).

If you prefer writing separate backend code:

- You can use any backend with Next.js/Remix if you want to. (https://remix.run/docs/en/v1/guides/bff)

- You don't have to use either of those for your front-end in the first place. You can just use React with Vite.

Thinking about SSR/SSG? You can use the Vite SSR plugin (does serverless SSR really well too)

If you prefer having your server and client coupled and want to go in with the new options (using React as your library):

- Use Next.js/Remix for everything. You can then choose parts of your architecture individually (for instance Prisma as ORM, TRPC/Blitz's RPC model as your API model (or Remix's action-loader pattern), etc.)

These are just two options and probably all you'll need to know to be productive unless you WANT to know more in which case you'll inevitably do your own research.
