I can provide somewhat unorthodox answer for 2024.
I am currently working on a solo project and EXTRA prioritizing for time to MVP. In the past I already delivered one project with React and I found it very unpleasant to debug with my backend even if surprisingly useful for handling complex dynamic behavior in UI. I decided that MVP might as well be as vanilla at it can get considering that I am building very much backend-data driven application.
Python + Flask for backend. vanilla HTML + vanilla Javascript for little of the dynamic behavior that I need now on frontend. after MVP I'll most likely transfer to React because there's a limit where it will become pointless to write JS scripts by hand.
