Seems like a sensible stack.

However, is it not reasonable that would someone not consider node.js, as web stack as well?

I will agree the focus is more towards backend and asynchronous API's traditionally, but the amount of front-end/UX orientated modules are growing every day.

Sure why not. Some people don't even mind the lack of polished modules and instead spend time to write their own.

Not a big fan of node.js (or JavaScript for that matter) and probably never will so I can't comment much.
