Does anybody else feel overwhelmed by the JavaScript ecosystem?

Does anybody else feel overwhelmed by the JavaScript ecosystem and 'needing' to keep up with the latest tools/frameworks/libraries? I have read a lot about new things like esbuild, Vite, Nuxt, and many more, but between my 3 kids and full-time job as a developer I have almost no time to learn them, and choosing 'what' to learn often feels overwhelming because of how many things are out there. If I don't keep up I feel like I'll soon be irrelevant. Is it just me, or do other people feel this way as well? I suffered some extreme burnout a few years ago so perhaps I just don't have the drive anymore.
