I seriously have to ask what makes you think backend devs don't like/understand/whatever JavaScript, and what you consider complex. Is it about knowing how to add an event listener for the drop event and adding a class with some transition css? Or is it about higher order functions, streams or actually understanding how promises work? I switched to nodejs at v0.6, mostly to save the mental burden of switching languages between FE/BE (did c#, python and perl among others - yes perl for backend over CGI), and did most of backend work in js/ts ever since. Some backend devs indeed would stay away out of some principle but it's just as narrow minded as the other way around.
Check the book "JavaScript alongee" for my idea of advanced. Or "The little lisper" if you feel adventurous.
