Just use JQuery (with a PHP backend)
I unironically did for production apps (some of which that are still running). The last thing I did with JS was vanilla. I'm a simple person.
Well, if it gets the job done. I'd only argue about maintainability there maybe, as other devs get involved.
In my final apprenticeship work, I also only used vanilla php and argued that it would take too much time in this project to evaluate and learn a framework and that I know the vanilla way pretty good, so it's valid this way around.
Every person I know who used JQuery seems to really miss it. My only impression of it is that it looks goofy. Similar for PHP, but my only experience with it is Nextcloud causing me nightmares.
I used to use JQuery (and I still do occasionally when doing scripts for WordPress where its included natively), but modern vanilla JS has solved 90+ % of the reason why we needed JQuery back then.
That's what I did and I loved it. jQuery, some jQuery API, some dataTables, my backend in C# and off I go! Not perfect, but really enjoyable. Also SCSS is wonderful and I'm never going back.
