I have personally found a combination of htmx and Alpine.js to be very effective for my projects. Here's a demo project for using Spring Boot, Thymeleaf and htmx together. Here's a video on using Spring Boot w/htmx. That said, there is currently no job market for this kind of thing, although (crossed-fingers) that will change over the next few years.

However, I'd also like to make my apps have more dynamic, "single page app" (SPA) like features. I've been doing some experiments with htmx.org and Spring Boot/Thymeleaf and it's been fantastic so far (I'm posting my experiments at https://github.com/wiverson/htmx-demo).
