Personally, I like vertx, it is modular and you can pick and choose what you need. It also has support for kotlin coroutines, https://vertx.io/, https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-examples/tree/4.x/kotlin-examples

A potential good tradeoff could be using Spring the functional way with the Kotlin web DSL. Should be pretty lightweight. See https://github.com/sdeleuze/spring-kotlin-functional that I updated recently.

http4k
The Functional toolkit for Kotlin HTTP applications. http4k provides a simple and uniform way to serve, consume, and test HTTP services.
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.

Yes, start.spring.io is a great way to get started, but I was actually referring to things like kotlin-allopen for Spring annotated components, kotlin-noargs if you are using JPA, adding the Kotlin module if you use Jackson object mappers, etc. What you add is going to depend on what features you are using, so start.spring.io won't be able to automatically add everything for you, especially if you add that feature later on, and because some of those modules are optional and a matter of preference.
