You can go really far with node. I'm a node js and Vue dev these days, but I think we will end up switching over to React for public facing stuff due to ease of hiring and getting devs to work in it. I like sticking to one language, it performs pretty well, and is fairly easy to hire for and get help with.
I am looking at React on the front-end instead of vue, due to how much easier it is to hire for react.
The isomorphic/universal rendering is really awesome for node on the server, one set of templates vs two, plus it seems like the GraphQL stuff is way more mature on node. We're not currently using GraphQL, but having that option open to us is nice.
Combined with all the success stories from Linkedin, Paypal and even Walmart around moving stuff to node, it's also an easy decision to defend.
I'm not a huge fan of debugging node, that could be a bit improved, but overall I am happy with the choice to try to build everything in node unless there's a compelling reason not to.
