as a Javascript or front-end Engineer, I say the number one problem is throwing Javascript or heavy client side frameworks like React at everything. Maybe it's because of FOMO but a majority of apps out there don't warrant use of client side frameworks when Vanilla.js can be enough. Simple yardstick to judge whether your app needs a client side framework is: it is going to be used only on desktop for 'desktop' like native apps ? Yes. Is it consumer facing, with majority of users on mobile phones: then no.
