I don't think front-end is going away anytime soon. I would put good money on React being around in a decade or even longer. Either way, no one has a crystal ball and trying to make decisions today that account for a problem you might have 10 years down the road feels like a bad way to go about things. Find a proven well-supported solution that works today. Hence my comment about building on the shoulders of giants by adopting a robust popular open-source framework - so your team can just get to work on what matters to the business, and not worry about re-inventing the wheel on the underlying common tooling that already exists. Then keep an eye on where things are going and don't fall too far behind on your updates. Staying on top of your technical health/debt and remaining current as technology evolves should be baked into your strategy anyways, regardless of what tooling you choose. I think this can apply to any technology decision.
