That's a tough spot to be in. I would probably use Next 13 with page routing. If say Remix gets more traction, switching shouldn't be too difficult. Same for Qwik which has a similar tsx/jsx syntax. It's going to be interesting to see how this pans out. It looks like more people are getting annoyed with the direction Next.js is going.

Try Deno Fresh https://fresh.deno.dev/

Deno supports importing node modules now so you can import whatever dependency you desire. I even used browser imports on the server, it's so flexible.

Island based hydration is a great idea and it's a super productive framework to use. Fresh uses Preact, I spent the last few months using it and I never caught myself fighting with the framework, unlike nextjs where it's a constant struggle

I’ve moved to Laravel + Inertia + React.

Feels even better than the “pages” router from next, it’s a hell lot more stable and simple, and you get a real backend framework such as Laravel which is great.
