I guess that the importance of choosing the right company. I totally agree that you want to use what is 'in' if you have the opportunity to work on a greenfield project.
If the company has invested heavily in that "clunky ass unintuitive studio", for them might mean that if you can use it, then use it, whether that's the best tool for the job or not. Another reason is that the training required to learn the 'in' tech does not favour the whole team, for example, if there are a lot of Java devs who might not be too keen as you are with FE tech. Is there a possibility to meet somewhere in the middle (some new and old)? This is something that my team did in order not to loose our will to leave when working on some really old codebase!
If you've tried to explain to them your reasoning and they either did not listen or were not able to give you a good reason why they still want to stick to some legacy tech, then, I am not sure if this is an environment that will be unjoyable or help someone career progression. Whichever you decide, I wish you all the best 👍🏾.
