i.e. some thing that does everything for me apart from the bit where I write application and presentation code? That mostly just works and doesn't require me to understand the whole stack.
Because when I switch to other languages/environments I can most remain blissfully unaware of the plumbing that keeps the thing running. I learned all I needed to learn about pip and virtualenv in under an hour. My C# editor just lets me edit code and hit play.
Is there any chance of getting to this state of nirvana for web development?
Can anyone point me to a workflow where the cognitive load is similar to how it was in the good old days? i.e. some thing that does everything for me apart from the bit where I write application and presentation code?

For most purposes I find that all these frameworks are simply unnecessary. As a bonus, all the debugging tools in Chrome work much better when there's no obfuscation or packing, and "recompiling" is just Ctrl-R.
Code size and load speed is also massively better than it would otherwise be. Pages load instantly. It's nirvana, I tell you.
I can’t wait for WASM to kill off JS for mainstream web front end app dev. It can’t come soon enough. edit: Look at Blazor and Yew for example, these types of frameworks can and will replace the bulk of what we use JS for today.

Is it even on the roadmap? WASM does not have access to DOM at all.

Currently WASM is a way worse in terms of shipping on the web. On top of wrapper JS scripts, .wasm files are treated as statice files like image files. You have extra burden with the path of every .wasm files.
