Is Web Forms still not an option in .net 6.0?
Have a look at DotMVVM. They've gone to great lengths to provide a gradual upgrade process for Webforms projects.

knowing what I know now I must flee
If you have any experience with modern web development, this could actually be a great opportunity. I'm in a similar situation with an application that is extremely old and running on Web Forms (and in VB.NET, god I hate that language). Pretty much every developer on my team has no idea how to build a modern web site, so I get to run pretty much everything related to modernization. It's great experience for the resume. I would recommend using DotVVM (https://www.dotvvm.com) for a rewrite. It's not very popular yet, but it lets you iteratively migrate web forms apps to a .NET Core compliant application. From there, you could rewrite even further into something like React.

How to Upgrade a Codebase from .NET Framework to .NET 6
I have one first step for the upgrade: Change WebForms to DotVVM. Sadly, that is already an enormous task :(

New server-side framework based on monadic parsing
This is cool. I just want to give a shoutout to Suave, which is the original inspiration for Giraffe, and is still my go-to web server in F#.

Building a Webpack alternative in F#
This shouldn't be that hard, I just needed a server that well... served the HTML/CSS/JS files right? I went to my desktop, created an F# script added a couple of libraries like Suave and CliWrap so I could call the dotnet fable command from my F# code and make it compile my Fable files.

Introducing Giraffe.Htmx
Giraffe is a library that sits atop ASP.NET Core and allows developers to build web applications in a functional style; dotnet new giraffe is literally my starting point when I begin a new web application project. (Rather than write three more sentences filled with effusive praise, Iāll just leave it at that; itās great.) It also provides a view engine (that builds upon Suaveās āexperimentalā view engine) which uses an F# DSL to define HTML in a strongly-typed way. It has been incredibly efficient for a while, but with .NETās work over the past two releases at improving performance, and Giraffeās adoption of those techniques, it is lightning fast.
