I’m have done both, Spring Boot and Laravel on BE and Vue, Svelte and React on FE.
Don’t believe the FUD. Vue and Svelte are fun if you have a moderate understanding of HTML, JS/TS and CSS in your sleeve and those reactive frameworks are indefinitely better than vanilla JS or jQuery. React is another beast and I really didn’t like working with it.
Both Vue and Svelte have nice setup tools for NPM/PNMP (I’d recommend the latter) that create template applications in a few minutes which immediately run inside a local dev-server. Change some code and changes are immediately reflected inside the browser. It’s really a nice DX. And both frameworks have very nice ecosystems and GUI frameworks, e.g. VueUse or shadcn-svelte.
React is fine too with the right tooling. Next.js, create-t3-app, vite etc. are all nice. I think svelte has fewer unfamiliar mental models and hurdles to initial development though. I tried vue years ago and found react made far more sense to me for some reason.
Man, this is why I’m a backend dev, how ya’ll keep up with this shit…
Edit: Y’all responding with shit I’ve never even heard of before continues to disincentivise me from touching frontend

It’s really not that bad if your SE sets good standards.
We use C#, Entity Framework, and GraphQL for the BE.
Then TypeScript React for the FE. Now using Vite where we used to use CRA.
