We use Vue at GitLab. You can see why we chose Vue as written by our front-end lead.
Yep, been there. That type of jQuery gobbledygook has resulted in more bugs than I'd like to admit slipping past my team.
Vue has been an absolute life saver.
I'd love to see what work flows or examples you guys are using to progressively upgrade pieces of the application to use Vue.
For example, it would be really great to see a blog post with a before and after for a feature that you've converted from jQuery to Vue.

I don't think it's exactly what you were asking for, but I'll pass this suggestion along to our front-end lead that wrote these two posts.
