> the team wants to go with Node.JS, as this would be somewhat better for their careers later on. This sounds like Resume Driven Development to me... which seems like a really silly reason to switch languages. Node.js will have new challenges, and different performance characteristics (maybe better in some areas, maybe worse depending on your use case.) I've done a lot of backend Node.js development but wouldn't migrate an existing project to it without a good reason. Maybe you have a lot of time and bandwidth to debug any new issues and to learn a new ecosystem (which is something I rarely have.)
