But is node worth it without the npm packages?

I feel like it's pretty much one of the worst runtimes/scripting languages if you can't utilize it's ecosystem.

Yes, absolutely. I can manually import the 2-3 packages I regularly use. TypeScript, for example, has no dependencies. The only thing I would miss is ESLint which has a billion dependencies that I wouldn't bother with.
