I think the "frontend engineering problem" they are talking about is actually the "React engineering problem". All the examples seem to be entirely about react and only react.
I'm pretty happy with modern angular for big apps with big teams working on it, and just vanilla JavaScript for smaller simple things.
I've tried lit etc al for components but honestly beyond the pure atomics (buttons etc) there is very little that ever gets reused between projects
Beyond that, his examples are either bad React engineering, engineering choices that are totally separate from React, or solutions needed because web-native options didn't exist yet.
