https://github.com/PurpleKingdomGames/tyrian, the elm-way for Scala.js, I'm yet to try it in a real project but it seems promising.
-
FYI there's a ZIO "port" for Typescript (https://github.com/Effect-TS/core) so if you want, you can still write pure FP code in frontend too. I haven't tried it yet though, I myself am a backend engineer and only play with frontend stuff for personal projects, when I've got some time.

InfluxDB
Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

I never used it myself, but a colleague learned FP using https://github.com/gcanti/fp-ts and only afterwards started working with scala. You might want to give it a go

Given that you want interoperability with js, I'd start by playing with https://scalablytyped.org/, then, play with the scalajs-react demos (https://github.com/ScalablyTyped/ScalaJsReactDemos) and the slinky demos (https://github.com/ScalablyTyped/SlinkyDemos). There are some libraries that scalablytyped doesn't support pretty well but you can leverage https://github.com/nafg/scalajs-facades for those.

Mergify
Updating dependencies is time-consuming.. Solutions like Dependabot or Renovate update but don't merge dependencies. You need to do it manually while it could be fully automated! Add a Merge Queue to your workflow and stop caring about PR management & merging. Try Mergify for free.

https://github.com/raquo/laminar, a purely scalajs library based on observables.

c) Diode is my favourite "wiring" library. It is similar to Redux and allows you to handle asynchronous behaviour in your frontend. It has a learning curve but it's not too bad and makes everything so much easier.
-
b) Slinky is by far my favourite React framework. It is simple, well supported and matches up with Javascript so you easily port code. You can use any React UI library you like although my preference right now is Shoelace. I can open source my wrappers if there is interest.
-
shoelace-css
A collection of professionally designed, every day UI components built on Web standards. Works with all framework as well as regular HTML/CSS/JS. 🥾

There's also Purescript, which is sort of a Haskell for frontend. It has type classes, HKTs and so on and also has a very nice FFI. When it comes to UI libraries there is Halogen which I think is very well though out and allows for using tagless final approach. There's also react-basic but I haven't used that one myself.

purescript-react-basic
An opinionated set of bindings to the React library, optimizing for the most basic use cases
