I often use create-react-app for creating React apps. One of the nice things about it is that it preconfigures your project with useful tools such as Babel, react-scripts, etc.

Is there something equivalent for Node apps? It'd be nice if there was some way to quickly create a Node app that's already preconfigured to work with Babel and such.

Maybe you should look at this: https://nextjs.org/ for a complete solution (backend and frontend in node). And you can also build a static web app with this.

And also https://vitejs.dev/ as a lightweight alternative to CRA.

If you don’t care about opinionated frameworks, you have options like nest.js or feathers.js that can give you a nice start for your projects.
If you only need a clean express app you can use express-generator to configure a simple express server in seconds.
