I don't think that there are many good options for front end that are maximally stable out there:

Unless you want to look at something way more niche, you probably won't find something that has a main version supported for 5-10 years without major changes. Then again, that's usually not even the case with back end frameworks either, the closest you can get is either language runtimes like JDK (2014-2030, albeit the open source versions seem to end support in 2026), or maybe OSes like RHEL (e.g. 8 has a support timeframe of 2019-2029 or the extended option is until 2032).
In short, there is churn everywhere and I don't think you can simply pick any stack that is used for web development and will get exposed to the world (and therefore needs security patches), that will still work okay with no breaking changes along the way in 5-10 years or so. The only difference is how bad the individual choices will be.
