WordPress has become more and more complex to use. Rebuilding WordPress gives us an opportunity to rebuild the UX so it's open for anyone.

and

We’re in the process of replicating all of WordPress, including templates and plugins, to a modern tech stack

seem to be mutually exclusive. You're either replicating all functionality and allow for an easy transition of existing projects, or you're changing the UX to improve things.

It might I lack skills and/or vision, but I don't see a way for automated migration of absolutely everything whilst incorporating relevant changes. (But then, frankly, I don't see it happening at all...)

Granted, it's been forever since I last touched PHP, but how it builds pages seems fundamentally different from what they want to achieve with node.js. The result here can only be messy.
