For the "task pane", if you need one, you can use React or Angular, but I prefer to use Vue (or no front-end framework is fine too).

For the backend logic, just straight up Node + webpack. You could probably do this better with Vite, but I think Microsoft's starter templates all use webpack.

You end up distributing a manifest file that tells Excel which server your assets and API live at.

Warning: hot reload and dev debugging is quite a pain on macOS.
