With jQuery you would still need to update it regularly because security issues could potentially arise in jQuery.
>a back end server in the front end
It's not a back-end server, it's Node running so that it can constantly watch and bundle your React app because you're probably using JSX which the browser doesn't understand. So it constantly transpiles your JSX into JS.
You don't need to use that though. You can use React without JSX for example. But why does it bother you to have Node running on your dev machine? Why is that a problem?
It seems what you really have a problem with is the large number of dependencies in a typical React front-end, and maybe in front-ends using other frameworks. Okay well just write vanilla JS then. Today's vanilla JS is very powerful.
