you can compose UI on the backend without string substituting. Are you under the impress that JSX is some sort of thing exclusive to Frontend?

Sure, but you're still going to be using "20 MB of inscrutable JavaScript". (Unless you use Wicket, but I'm not sure that's an option for emails, and would likely trigger the same complaints anyway). I mean, I hope you're not using the component style rendering layer for Python that I published ~10 years ago, because I haven't maintained it, and as far as I know there aren't any others.

20 MB JavaScript is much less bad when you’re not sending it to the client.
