Just my point of view but I like the vibe of the htmx creator but think that htmx sucks to use it more than for a demo case.

If the guy was not cool and posting fun memes, no one would even look at that.

You go backward in term of performance by forcing a constant stream of heavy content between the app and the backend, state is hard to manage, The backend would have again to take charge of the CPU intensive part of the app for users. The framework is limiting by trying to be very simple, fitting tags and hiding the complexity to the dev (in an "automagic" way). But that is the worse as, as soon you want to deviate from the main documented highway case, it will become nightmarish.
