Perhaps also consider whether front-end frameworks are a Good Thing given your requirements?

Many of the largest sites on the internet don't use them in any significant way, and you could just as easily use Django to server HTML/CSS to browsers, as well as a Rest endpoint for mobile apps or other users of your data.




I think in a lot of cases they actually aren't a good thing at all.

I have used a fair number of websites recently which used front end frameworks badly and ended up causing all sorts of havoc (not being able to save the page, random {{ things like this }} appearing all {{ over }} the place at inconvenient times, pages just not loading, janky controls, etc.)

In short, bugs that don't happen when you have static web pages and forms and a smatter of javascript.

In almost all of these cases I think users would likely not have noticed a substantive difference between an angular-style web app and simple HTML forms.
