I spent four years working on a Meteor.js app. Meteor's main appeal is isomorphic code and a high degree of reactivity. As the app evolved we replaced the in-built MongoDB with GraphQL. It was nice to have one language and GraphQL was very useful. Eventually this kind of model may be the future, but the next project I did, instead of Meteor, I went with a more conventional Vue front end with REST & websocket api for the backend. The reason for the change is that while Node is really nice, Django and Go get predictable outcomes with less time spend on tooling, patching and updates. With a small team, losing lots of hours to "our build broke because an upstream dependency changed a function signature" is not a good thing.
