Building a front end with no JavaScript

You can't disable javascript in a browser, but leave "a few minor javascript improvements". So the difference is between allowing all the ad tech, surveillance, malware or not.

Which is fine. If all your JS is doing is adding a few QoL features like collapsing comments, then your site will still be completely usable if the client chooses to not run JS.

Those that run JS will still load probably just as fast as those without it even if it's not truly "no JS."

You can do a lot more than nothing about isolating unwanted javascript. Ublock origin, noscript, privacy badger, use one of many curated hosts files, etc..
