Great question. To me what Node is missing most is a ORM that isn't tied to a backend -- relationships can easily be expressed without needing to know whether data is fetched through an API or through SQL. This is how ORM is often done in frontend JS. We're working on and using such a backend-agnostic Node lib, but I don't think it's polished enough for release yet.
