After trying out htmx (for perhaps the wrong project), my feeling is kinda the opposite, it really didn't add much (if you want to just add css-animations to your otherwise static backend it's probably fine) but didn't help squat with actual work tasks (data and events updating the view), I ended up adding Vue to parts of it (and wrote another task with Vue from the start). One difference for me is that I only pick Vue for projects that are large enough to need fully front-end logic but small enough not to need a build-step (And one could equally well go for React once a project is large enough to need a build step), this is where Vue really shines since you get the auto updating goodess but don't need to burden yourself with any build script complications.
