Honestly try out dotnet, especially on Windows VS (which actually works really well with Windows Subsystem for Linux these days, so you can run it easily on Linux). Usually libs in the dotnet ecosystem are pretty clear on how to use them, and the stdlib of dotnet is huge - so you use a lot less 3rd party dependencies than other enviroments. Personally for webapps I prefer MVC to Razor Pages, but that is personal choice and probably because I am so used to it. I also do a lot of JS/TS work and really know what you mean with "fighting" the ecosystem.
