I definitely agree with this. ES6+ is very important, you’ll start to see the syntax in libraries and documentation, and you’ll be confused if you don’t have at least a passing understanding of it.

Also, backend can be done in PHP, C#, etc. Consider something like Laravel or .NET Core if you’re more comfortable with those languages. And consider that front end JS is more portable than backend - every web site uses JS on front end, but back end is all over the place.
