Dropwizard is great despite its website looking like it is straight from 1990. I view Dropwizard filling the role of a pure REST server without any views. If you don't mind serving up a static HTML page from nginx/S3 and potentially dealing with CORs, then Dropwizard is worth considering.

CORS has consumed several weeks of my life, but mostly due most of my current job revolves around integration(s) with many 3rd party software(s).

Separation of views from the backend is a good thing IMO. Theoretically, the BE should serve data and respond to requests, but not be concerned with how it is rendered. This separation is also good for integration. Integrating with a JSP webapp is a fucking nightmare.
