About once every six months I’ll come across a problem, think of possible solutions, think it will be impossibly complicated, remember XForms exists, remember it wasn’t as easy as it needed to be last time (usually a mobile related issue), research the current state... and walk away full of disappointment.
XForms was a brilliant idea and a perfectly acceptable technology to solve extremely useful but mostly boring business type problems that never caught on... probably because of the boring / business type feel.
But there are glimmers of hope, https://enketo.org Enketo looks like it’s turning into a pretty good backend agnostic option for developing with XForms which is one of the usual issues... there are quite a few XForms options out there but many require the use of specific server side tool chains.
