I want an orm, a template engine, form validation, sessions and some authentication mechanism. I'm currently doing a system for a robotics competition - team registration, match results entry and point calculations, rankings and so on. Doing it in Python and Pyramid is quite easy, though sometimes I have to fight with the framework to do things the way I want to. One especially useful feature in Pyramid (and some other Python frameworks, Flask, Django etc) is the debug console, when I get an exception somewhere, then on the 500 page I can see the call stack and get a shell at each line in the calls stack, print the variables, view the last n requests, see the request variables and so on.

Spring MVC is probably what you want then. Really though, you should invest some time in learning typescript and react. These days most apps are just API calls on the back end and you deal with templating, forms, and other bs in the frontend. Because most apps are built this way now, you won't find any "modern" Java frameworks that support what you want, and you're pretty much gonna be stuck with the older clunkier stuff. The learning curve for new SPA frontend stuff is high but I've found it much more productive now that I'm into it. With HTML generated on the server it's too damn hard to get pages to do what you want
