The AGPLv3 network clause is triggered on modification, so if you don't modify the code, you don't have to redistribute the source code.
The copyleft licenses don't require to share the source code publicly, they only require to give source code forward to downstream users, who may or may not contribute back upstream to the original project. In the AGPL case, that would be only users that you let have network access to the modified AGPL software.
This seems like a reasonable set of requirements to me.

As with the GPL it should be noted that by default linking to [A]GPL code (e.g. by installing it with a package manager) constitute a modification. So unless the [A]GPL code includes a linking exception your code must be [A]GPL if there is anything [A]GPL in you node_modules folder.
