I write react professionally, but for my freelance projects or any personal projects I came to a similar stack when it comes to simplicity.

Laravel NGINX VanillaJS/WebComponents (toying with Svelte right now) MariaDB

Fast prototyping, simple deployment, almost no time spent with tooling.

A recent example with too much tooling I had was with Root's bedrock+trellis+sage. They do make working with WordPress management for a developer (a lot less clicking that with normal WP setup). But the frontend setup, webpack, backend, browserify and all of that is so complicated and slow. I was able to set it up on one machine, but failed to git clone the same project on two others. Scripts would be missing, things wouldn't load etc. Nightmare.
