It's not sensible if you're principled about your technology choices, but if you just want to whip something up quickly and all you have are "full stack" developers, Node gives them the ability to use just one language for everything, as well as a pretty high performance runtime. So the value is there, given those constraints, which may or may not apply to you.

Javascript seems like the payday loan of technical debt. I think the fear and distrust towards it stems from the perception that it is on its way to become the lingua franca of development, and the expense of other much more suitable programming languages. That seems like a terrible idea.
