Yes, like Treebird FE for Pleroma: https://treebird.waifuism.life/local/
But still, the default FE matters a lot because normally they should be well-supported. And most of the time, even when people implemented alternative FE, they aren't set as the default and to use them login is required (through the default FE), making it useless. This instance can show content without JS and I appreciate it very much.

> The only plus side Mastodon has is that it doesn't straight up give you a white screen of death if you disable JS
This is critical though (all other features are secondary). It is really rude because you need others to enable JS just to read some texts and images. And yes GNU Social has the potential.
