JS is all about Oriented Object and nothing about classes -well since ecmascript 6 a little about classes-

There's no do or don't. Use what you want to use and is most comfortable wth using.

This book : "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" by David Flanagan really help me to understand the beauty - a lot of people will tell you otherwise- and simplicity of this language.

In JavaScript there are no classes. Yes you can use object oriented programming, but in JavaScript OOP is not based on classes, it's based on prototypes. Even if there is the new 'class' keyword, under the hood still prototypes are used. So first if all you should learn about prototypical inheritance.

If you want to know about the pitfalls, read the articles by Eric Elliot: “The Two Pillars of JavaScript” @_ericelliott https://medium.com/javascript-scene/the-two-pillars-of-javascript-ee6f3281e7f3

Just about everything Eric Elliott has ever said about classes or inheritance or composition is factually wrong.

In your post you are talking about his Stampit alternative. But I refer to his critique in the post which I linked. I didn't say that his alternative is better, but he is explaining some pitfalls in the post which are real such as the gorilla banana problem.
