Maybe a beginner question - but wouldn’t using Node.js with EJS for templating be a unified framework? Or is there something you don’t like with the JS/node ecosystem?

I agree with your thinking since I’ve used a React front end and Node backend for a MVP since it is what I knew (I consider myself a junior dev tho) and it is a lot of work to make “simple” updates due to the complexity of having the front end and back end separate. Iteration isn’t as quick as I’d like as a solo dev/founder (esp with the non-coding work you have to do!). With hindsight I would’ve just went straight Node.
