It seems unlikely. Modern JS tooling has gotten very powerful, and it's still improving. Heck, even with WASM coming around, you need many external tools for building and deploying applications. If you're targeting the web you'll still need to be fully aware of its limitations as well as having a strategy for handling em. These problems won't get magical solutions all of sudden. I'd be interested in hearing of some ways in which you believe tools and frameworks could be simplified, as well as your current complaints with the ecosystem. It's important to understand that the JS world has many players, and different groups of people have vastly different requirements. For example, even if picking up Webpack takes a bit of tinkering first, once you have it in place it requires very little maintenance. If you're working on a larger web app, paying that price up front is well worth it, as you can tweak the config to easily handle most future problems and requirements.
