Isn't the Alpine + HTMX combo intended to plug this gap? HTMX handles situations where you just need interactions to replace parts of the page via back-end logic. Alpine is there as a similar declarative layer for stuff which requires client-side logic. (caveat - It's a while since I did webdev but I've been a long-term fan of Intercooler - the precursor to HTMX. Carlton has been banging this drum for many years and I find myself very much in tune with his views on where front-end dev went wrong)
