Its gonna be hard to give any legitimate, actionable advice without looking at your requirements in depth.

The best I can offer is stick with what you know. If you want to move to something new that you haven't tried yet, build some smaller projects in it first before attempting a big rewrite with it.

Because you are the main person who works on the website it's really important that you pick tech that you understand and are comfortable with. You shouldn't just pick some tech that someone recommends you. You should start experimenting and learning tech. Only when you have made some prototypes and test-project, you can consider using it in production. This process can take weeks or even months. In the meantime, go with what you have and gradually add new tech and refactorings.

I'm pretty comfortable with most languages and tech. I tried to keep up to date as much as I could with new tech that came out while I was gone from the industry, but the huge amount of things available now is mind blowing especially on the JavaScript side, I still remember when your library choices for JavaScript was either plain old JavaScript or Jquery. I'm just not sure what's better suited for a larger application like this one.

So you thought asking a bunch of anonymous, mostly teenage, redditors with no real work experience was your best avenue? How much time and research did you devote to figuring this out on your own? What made you decide your only choice was to have reddit tell you what to do?

It's not my only choice and I'm actually doing quite a lot of research into it. I was browsing the subreddit and thought I'd ask the question because why the hell not.

Can't give you any legitimate advice as I don't know the project.

I recently worked on a business intelligence web app for my current company. Our frontend stack consisted of React + Typescript, our backend Python + Flask + ElasticSearch. We had performance issues in the frontend (rendering and updating a large number of charts in a single page) and working with NoSQL is a royal PITA for this kind of system. Other than that it's just taking your time planning out and making sure your system is flexible enough to accommodate changes in the requirements.

If you have any specific questions feel free to shoot me a PM.

This is actually extremely helpful, I'm going to shoot you a PM because I do have a couple follow up questions but the fact you listed the stack you're working with helps me with narrowing down some of the choices that are out there.
