PHP for a configuration app, ended up really being better off with a React/Node SPA for the use case in hand and I wasn't good enough at PHP (plus at the time PHP wasn't as good as it is now).
It seemed from reading documentation and a running a small PoC that it would be fine, but really wasn't a great fit. I should learn to interpret other people's use cases as interesting, but make sure that they really are a close fit for my requirements and I should opt for incremental learning for my own skills rather than diving into something else and expecting me to be as good a software architect with new things as I can be on things I'm experienced with.
Final lesson: you need to build things with the tools you know the best so long as they are good enough for the use case in hand. If the tools you know aren't a good fit, properly learn the new stack with PoCs that have real world complexity and also test the "assumptions" you have from other stacks.
