I'm pretty happy with the Django projects I start out these days. Most of them are just GraphQL APIs that interact with a React SPA, with a nifty admin built right in. You don't necessarily need to use all of the components of Django to get a tremendous amount of value from using the framework. It used to be a very much "batteries included" framework, whereas now I'd consider a bit closer to "cafeteria Catholic". Still philosophically a far cry from "omakase".
