Well you didn’t write standard HTML attributes, you wrote custom attributes that are picked up by a JS framework, so potentially the worst of both worlds depending on your problem space.

Having tried HTMX a few times, the problem is firmly in creating a backend that feeds it properly. It’s a disjointed experience for anything more complicated than updating content.

HTMX sounds like it works best when you are fetching data from endpoints that would serve HTML already, like <frame>-based sidebar navigation.
