I have been building a platform https://github.com/claceio/clace for teams to develop Hypermedia based internal tools. One of the main criteria for the technology stack and the feature set has been making sure apps can be maintained easily, after six months and after six years.

Settled on using Go HTML templates, Starlark and HTMX. Go has a great track record of not breaking backward compatibility. Go templates are widely used by ops teams, any breaking changes there will cause ops teams to revolt. Starlark is somewhat widely used by build systems (like Bazel), any breaking changes there will cause build engineers to rise up in arms. The HTMX 1.9 to 2.0 upgrade was also painless, no changes required in my test apps. Only change required was to update the way the websocket extension is resolved.
