What's the state of server-side frameworks with Kotlin support today for small teams?
You named Express as an example for a good framework - I'd say both http4k and ktor come close to it. Spring Boot would really be on the other end and I met lots of JS/TS devs that didn't even want to touch it. I did have the same impression than you though: Documentation for ktor is not great at all.

Application-as-a-Function Thinking
I couple of years ago I was lucky to use http4k, a server as a function web library for Kotlin. It was such a wonderful change compared to every other technologies available in both Java and Kotlin. It's simple.
Testing becomes so much easier too, as one can instantiate a the whole web routing aspect, without having to bind it to a port and having to send real http requests.
If strongly suggest people to take a look at it. It's not perfect, but it's a lot simpler than other frameworks and libraries. And it's a shift in some of the current mentality of using heavy frameworks (such as spring boot) which blow up anyone's cognitive load.

kotlinx-serialization won't serialize a List?
Regardless, I followed the documentation to register List for polymorphic serialization and my static code analysis does not seem to be happy with it.
-
Is rust serde unique?
I think kotlinx.serialization might come close, but looks like custom Encoders and Decoders are still experimental.

[Android/Multiplatform] Kotlin Flows + Ktor = Flawless HTTP requests (- ArrowKt)
This example will not work on a multiplatform project. you are using gson, gson runs only on jvm, you should use https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization for the json parsing

Why should I use kotlinx.serialization?

Question about app weight... I want to use Apache commons math3, should I fork it and "crop" it to reduce compile times and app weight?
Fun fact, kotlinx.serialization had a release just recently which makes it come with some bundled proguard rules to make this experience easier. Yes you'll still have issues if you're using things via reflection and try to serialize things that proguard deemed unused and removed them, but it's a step forward https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/releases/tag/v1.5.0-RC
