I need to ask another couple more questions for which I'll take a try at some answers:
#1 Are you asking because you're deciding if you should invest time it from a general "keeping up with technology perspective" ?
or..
#2 Do you have a specific project in mind, and are worried that other technologies may have eclipsed js, and therefore if you invest in js you would be wasting time and money?
or..
#3 Do you want to impress someone, and want to do it in a tech that will garner a certain wow factor.
If #1, I don't have a clear and concise answer to this -- its effectively FOMO. I've had this urge in the past; I think what's embedded in the original question is you don't want to use js becuase you already have a perception that it's peaked. So just pick something else like Webassembly, Rust, Go or another framework de-jour and enjoy the exercise. Just try to keep the enjoyment level above the FOMO level :)
If #2, I would say js has not peaked ..just like many languages could meet the needs of a specific project. Look at your tools, abilities, team composition (if you have one) and decide on a set of tools that will allow you to meet your project objectives in a short amount of time (a la lean methods)
If #3, pick something exotic to your audience ..and then be able to describe the ups/downs in great detail after you wow them ..or fail to wow them with a big catastrophic fail ..either way, focus on the pyrotechnic show :)
PS. there is no universal platform and NEVER will be :) :) :)
