#2One you are familiar with, if possible. Django, Rails, or maybe Elixir+Phoenix if you absolutely need something modern.

#3Full stack Dart.

#4Depends on how complicated the app is.
Most of the times a good old non-SPA with NodeJS / Express / Some ORM with vanilla JS / Handlebars and SASS will do the job without having a huge technical debt.
If on the other hand the requirements are to have a more complicated SPA, I would go with React / Redux and a NodeJS / Express / ORM for the API. Hosting the front-end on an S3 and the backend on a Digital Ocean Droplet.

#5PHP with Laravel :)
For JS, Vue.js probably. Though I'm still using Backbone + Marionette.

#6I build lots of CRUD apps very fast with JHipster, which is designed to handle the initial bootstrapping of traditional CRUD apps very well, while also allowing you to choose your tech stack (in some ways). Because it's giving you a nice boilerplate, you can customize it as you go.
The stack ist mostly Java with Spring and AngularJS on the frontend.

#7The boring Java enterprise way, 2018 edition.
Back end: Java 9 JVM, Spring Boot web service, Kotlin, plain SQL via JdbcTemplate working with Kotlin data classes, Liquibase for DDL and migrations, Spring caching with redis if need be, Postgres, deployment via docker to AWS Fargate
Front end: Angular... but I’d like to try Vue. Nginx and docker to Fargate

#9Its like asking economists about the economy: so many people, so many different answers ;-)
Interesting enough, it probably means the market is still growing.

#10I would use rails for the API and react on the front end. Rails 5.1 makes it super easy to do this and Rails 5.2 which is coming out soon (5.2.rc1 I'd already available) also adds some neat features. Database I usually pick is postgres.
