Web front-end/back-end took the brunt of the impact of the commoditization of software developers and is rapidly on it's way to becoming the McJob of tech. Everything you said is why I stayed away from web technologies as much as I could in my career. Head over to work at a platform company (e.g. Salesforce, Atlassian) where they care more about reliability and maintainability than rewriting everything in the latest hot framework. Another option is to head over to IoT, embedded development, or some other area of systems development. Fundamentals still matter, evolution of technologies is benefit driven rather than fad driven, and experience is considered a positive.
