Why do you assume you need a framework? JS in the ES6 world is a perfectly adequate language, and the obvious RESTful API back into the server can be coded directly. Hand code your HTML and CSS, and if you don't know how--learn.

On the server side, I use Python CGI's for very lightly used API's, a Python microserver for moderate, and Golang for high performance.

Honestly, though, if you're recommending JS on the frontend, then I'd say Node for the backend allows for an easier time since there's no language-switching required.
