03/06/2019, 10:22 AMAs I dig deeper into mpp, it appears that the backend is for the jvm only and the front-end is for js only and the common code is trivial. That said, this at least is a better starting point in that it uses the multiplatform gradle plugin.

03/06/2019, 10:37 AMSharing code between the frontend (JS) and the backend (JVM) is one of the main use-cases of the MPP architecture.

03/06/2019, 10:38 AMYou are probably thinking about this second scenario.
