I sincerely disagree. I am not about to add node to a project that gets by fine with Django + HTMX. I'm tempted to say that adding hundreds of perishable npm packages to a project is a better heuristic for 'malpractice'.

Very funny that you think a build with an entire CMS involved is somehow "simpler". You apparently have a lot of patience for Django's static asset management pipeline, but I do not.
