I hope this is OK to talk Javascript in this Django group, I'm hoping its relevant to enough Django folks to not be distracting.

I'm relatively new to Django, but my impression is that a few years ago most django people prescribed to the wisdom of keeping javascript to a minimum and just using simple JQuery to do simple tasks.

This is incorrect. What we've said is that Django is a server side framework, and the choice to use a JavaScript library/framework is a client-side choice. As a framework, Django has quite deliberately remained agnostic on your client side choices. 

That said, there are many web applications written in Django that have rich client-side experiences, based upon integration with various JavaScript libraries. However, this integration isn't managed as part of Django's core - it's the role of third-party libraries that you can use within your Django project that exploit Django's APIs.
