We're breaking up with JavaScript front ends
Sort of sounds like Apache Wicket (https://wicket.apache.org/). I used it for a few projects in the mid-late 2000s. I really liked it being server side and the concept of having object-oriented HTML (code paired with HTML snippets). I haven't had a need to use it since 2014, so haven't kept up with the project.

Can I use Java to build a website?
You can use Java for Backend and Frontend. A relative new kid on the block for Frontend is Qute. The general keyword you are searching for is Java Templating Engine. Specific examples would be Thymeleaf or FreeMarker. There are some framework, which offer a lot more than templating like Vaadin or Wicket. Some are just specifications like Jakarta Faces with some of their implementations MyFaces or Mojarra.

Getting back into Java after 12-15 years away?
Perhaps, a good competitor for JSF is Apache Wicket.

Options for high level front-end frameworks for Java developers
I have used https://wicket.apache.org/ in the past and I think it matches your needs. It's a simple mvc that focuses on the actual java code writing and uses html only on the layout of your components in your page.

Lona – A web framework for responsive web apps in full Python without JavaScript
I think Apache Wicket takes a similar approach for Java? https://wicket.apache.org/
I like the approach, and it's good to see more projects in this space.

The Apache Attic
I believe Wicket is somewhat similar (and still actively developed).

Lona – A web framework for responsive web apps in full Python without JavaScript
It's great to have more and more of these projects, especially since frontend dev is such a huge time sink (if you're not doing it 100%).
There are also some similar projects, for example flask-meld [1] for flask (also via websockets but falls back to polling if not available) and django-unicorn [2] (afaik only polling).
