Server, web, and 2x mobile is a very tough requirement to meet. If it's just CRUD stuff I'd settle on ReactNative for mobile and use either clojure or js (both have the same reach in this case, but arguably clojure gives you a more unified experience).

But if you're pushing the envelope on mobile I don't think you're gonna pull this off to be honest. Consider reducing scope if possible.

ReactNative appears to be too much of a risk for the majority of the time. Think about if somebody recommended Azure as the absolute default way to build a basic* CRUD app, instead of building a backend.

This. I don't know why this lean mentality is lost on startups now, when only a few years ago we had all learned the lessons of trying to provide everything to everyone at MVP. This new mentality which is actually old mentality recycled, is anti-MVP.

Definitely CRUD and won't be pushing the envelope on mobile...fairly basic app. Thanks for the info!
