As a CTO, I couldn't agree more. For our internal product, we use 100% boring technologies. The most "modern" you'll find is a React SPA.
I sigh when clients want to go the microservices route for a team of just a few developers. When you want to use NextJs for their tables&forms app. When they choose to use Kubernates instead of a couple EC2 instances.
Don't get me wrong, these technologies are great for us because we can charge more for the wasted human time developing these overengineered solutions. But I always, for my peace of mind, try to talk them out of them. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, at the end of the day it's their money.
