What minimal front-ends are there that one could combine with this minimal back-end to provide a minimal end-to-end?

Depends on what you consider minimal, but I enjoy working with PocketBase and VanJS[1]. However there is no component library built in (if this is what you were asking for).

I would say

- htmx (https://htmx.org/)

- Alpine.js (https://alpinejs.dev/)

both are minimal and very easy to get started.

If you want a front-end for a single-page webapp, I loved Svelte. It puts all the HTML, JavaScript/TypeScript, and CSS together in the same place. The tutorial is delightful.

BUT, if you need a multi-page webapp, SvelteKit is complicated and not well documented.
