Looks nice, but would be even better if the frontend would be kotlin (react?) as well ;)

Perhaps even packaged as a web jar

i disagree with that
there is a huge community around react/vue as pure frontend technologies, if you do kotlinjs you're joining a very niche community

Not necessarily. KotlinReact project can be incorporated into regular react project, so there's no such hard line between the two communities.

But not sure if kotlin js is even an option if you want to stick with vue.

the fact that it's not an option if you want to use a certain library is enough for me to disqualify it
i've burned my hand too many times on technology trying to abstract away the frontend layer
this is not a very frontend heavy app, each view has a small vue app with a very limited set of interactions
but if i were to make a frontend heavy app i would use typescript rather than kotlin
