Koire, API-first works for me but that suggests (in my mind) some initial implementation. My thinking was to capture the interface definition (between front and back = API) as a specification. Words are easier to change (discuss and evolve) than code and tests. But as I stated earlier, you are not wrong, API-first will still enable front- and back-end development to commence independently, and enable the delivery of one feature at a time end-to-end.
