I started working on a project to solve this exact issue https://github.com/mburst/protomolecule. I haven't spent too much time building out other frameworks, but the first framework is React + Express which fits what you're looking for

Building Fast APIs with FastAPI: A Comprehensive Guide
3 projects | dev.to | 28 Dec 2023

Fast Execution: FastAPI is built on top of Starlette and Pydantic, making it one of the fastest Python frameworks for building APIs.
Embracing Modern Python for Web Development
12 projects | dev.to | 8 Dec 2023

The framework's efficiency comes from its use of Starlette for building asynchronous web services and Pydantic for robust data validation and serialization, powered by Python's type hints. Pydantic has recently announced the official release of Pydantic V2 (June 2023), which is a ground-up rewrite that offers many new features and performance improvements, so make sure to be using that instead of V1.

Writing a chat application in Django 4.2 using async StreamingHttpResponse

Same here, but without these weird utils it doesn't get any better.
I have 7 YoE with Django. Its great at so many things. You see some code, like middlewares, and immediately understand what's going on.
Now, we also have Starlette. The base of all new, fancy asgi libraries. Here's the base middleware class.

In the last couple of years I heard 'we're running fastapi on production. Wanna join us?' so many times... but the reality is that it's still not suitable for prod. Who wants to work with a code like that if you have a readable, stable Django? I'm clueless.

FastAPI middleware doesn't run while making request to websocket endpoint

I never used websockets in FastAPI so I wouldn't know how to guide you more, but Middleware in Websockets are 100% supported by Starlette : https://github.com/encode/starlette/issues/641

Websockets are the way but I would not recommend django as it's still not fully async. I would go for other tools.
