When it's "the largest community of any language by far" - which is true enough - having "some good stuff" is a very low bar. The dev culture around JS and Node is notorious for cranking out poorly written libraries. And yes, you can find 10+ packages to do pretty much anything... of which 8 are abandoned and no longer work on up-to-date Node versions or depend on other packages with known vulnerabilities.
