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.

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.

I like the approach, and it's good to see more projects in this space.

Give your classic spreadsheet a modern touch
Here I am taking Keikai spreadsheet and a ZK drawer component as an example demonstrating how this can be done. In this example, we will add a slide-in/out Help panel to our spreadsheet where we can display large blocks of Help text in a much more easy-to-read format.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Apache Wicket and ZK you can also consider the following projects:
Vaadin - Vaadin 6, 7, 8 is a Java framework for modern Java web applications.
Spring Boot - Spring Boot
PrimeFaces - Ultimate Component Suite for JavaServer Faces
Play - The Community Maintained High Velocity Web Framework For Java and Scala.
Google Web Toolkit - GWT Open Source Project
PyWebIO - Write interactive web app in script way.
jwt - Java Web Toolkit
Spring - Spring Framework
