PHP (Laravel) + JQuery still works for me in 2025, but I would never use Livewire.

Using Node.js would hurt productivity but it's more powerful if needed. It may be needed because it has async/await and it has socket.io. It's also possible to use Typescript.

Next.js can be useful if you need everything (good SEO + highly interactive) but let's be honest how many websites need good SEO and websockets? LinkedIn maybe.
