In 2008 I adapted an ecommerce web app working only in IE6 to work on Firefox, it used plain XMLHttpRequest with XML api, no json. Parsing XML was a pain.
In 2012 I wrote a Bill Of Material web editor for fashion products, 8k lines of pure javascript, embedded in a monstrous legacy web application, still running. Or a datagrid that had to work with IE10 loading 10k rows with client side filtering because the client requested so.
Not enormous projects, but things have been complex for a long time, now they are often overengineered, I wouldn't touch FE dev env with a ten meter long pole. Things were much easier with JSF, especially for pure b2b stuff.
