Puritanical, and many of the options seem superficial / impractical.

The point about form validation is always made in these types of articles and every time I do form validation I find the built in options too limited. I've used them here or there, but they're hardly a snap in replacement for anything.

And validating them in the backend isn't really viable either if you remove js entirely. No way to send the input to server without a page refresh, which would break the workflow

Agreed. There's a lot of "nothing happens" events if you remove JS and that's very user unfriendly.
