Ok, glad to have a python-point of view.
Why did you switch from Laravel to Django?
I prefer to use Python than PHP, but except for data-science stuff, I never used python for web dev. I suspect that the learning curve is not that steep?
There's lots of options for frontend but since you wrote "Mobile accessibility (PWA or native) and having a nice design are a must", there's no way around than digging deeper into frontend / design. I haven't seen a no-code tool (a la Webflow) that translates to good code for larger projects. On paper probably Ionic would fit what you want, but I feel the development experience quite lacking. I'm using Flutter for my mobile apps, and starting to use more and more of Django for backend / full stack (I used to use Laravel, then later Symfony extensively, and they're both still fine options I think).
