What do you use instead of these constructs?

Instead of this I use explicitly named variables and functions.

Instead of addEventListener I assign event handlers directly to the event property of the DOM: button.onclick = whatever. This forces simplicity and cleaner code management because only one function can be assigned to any given property.

Instead of querySelectors I use other standard DOM methods.

Other standard DOM methods like what? getElementById and getElementsByClassName?
