I tried to push polymer at my work (I use it for personal projects).
The problem I came into is I am a backend guy trying to convince that polymer and web components are the only sane way that I have ever seen to do web dev.
To many people were set it their own ways had just flat out did not want to learn something new. They could not put down react and redux for two seconds. Admittedly I am not a front end developer, but when I did get some to have conversations many of them went like this -- How do you do xyz in polymer / web components -- Umm seems to be a concept your framework had to create at a work around, that is not something you will need to worry about any more.
So what did we end up with? Some use react, some use ZK!?!, some just stick with straight up html/css/js -- oh and we have some angular too, but that fell apart because the guy doing it tried to do some weird shit with making some sort of tight integration with zk...
Side rant, if I have somebody send me that video about how react just had to be created to fix unread notification count at facebook one more time...
Webdev is a mess in my opinion and coming from the backend / systems side of things polymer / web components is the only thing that looks sane to me. Beyond what the component looks like I think a push in this direction will hopefully remove the requirement for a "web developer" vs just another developer who can work on any part of the project.
