While Scala isn't as boring as Java, I commonly work with PlayFramework which is our version for boring technology, it gets the job done, it is well-documented, not as nice as other libraries but it is rare to find an unsupported use case.

I have had to deal with html templates in Scala and Rust, to my surprise, I'm enjoying going back to these boring web apps.

Well Play was and is aimed mainly at people who are used to Java and OOP. You can take a look at http4s and ZIO Http for something more modern based on FP.
