> Endless discussion over which server-side framework to use, which folder structure makes the most sense, which client-side package management system to use, how to bring everyones preferences together.

It sounds like the challenge is dealing with different people that have differing opinions on what to use, and with this project you're just saying "Use this, trust me!" and hoping that nobody objects? The answer to the problem is to prescribe as much as you can beforehand, so that there is effectively no room for discussion around these points?

It doesn't seem to actually solve any problems around gaining consensus, it just pushes one very opinionated view. Or perhaps I've misunderstood completely.
