Of course you won't have any problems with an empty hello world. Now develop it into a medium to big real-world project and let it sit for a year or two, then try to update dependencies (because you need new functionality or to fix some vulnerabilities).
It's never easy. For some projects it took me about a week to do this (because of a breaking change in some library that's used everywhere that you are forced to update).
I just spent another two hours fighting with breakage because of a library that shall remain nameless. The author introduced yet another major breaking change in a minor release. I'm thinking of migrating to a hand-rolled solution, it probably makes sense in the long run.
Edit: just for comparison, the backend for this project is written in Java/Spring. I recently updated it from a five year old Spring version (plus a dozen dependencies from the same time frame), and it took less than an hour to fix everything. This is simply unthinkable in the JS world.
