All frameworks (or libraries like react if someone wants to be specific) are horrendous, was on the same boat as you with jquery/bootstrap pretty much do the job for any UI I needed until I tried the “modern” ones.. but probably svelte or solid+astro would be your best or at least personally being the least cumbersome. That being said, I try now in all my new projects to minimize or eliminate js completely, currently I’m trying to use rust to build the UI for a project I’m doing since the backend and the embedded drivers are also built with Rust, and I’m using egui [1] and so far I love it, Iced is also a good option.
