Give https://feathersjs.com/ a look. I am a longtime Node developer and it is my favorite framework I've used. Its got a great service oriented architecture, wrangles middleware into hooks, has some nice ORM adapters, and is realtime by default. Furthermore you can use it on the client. Feathers is actually just a collection of classes where each class is also an event emitter, not necessarily a "Node framework". So you add an express plugin that maps express routes to classes and that's what makes it a "Node framework". "Hooks" basically replace middleware and there is a nice collection of hooks for caching, ratelimiting, dataloaders, etc. But the Feathers core can be used on the client w/o a Feathers backend. For example, I recently started a project where I use it on a client that has a Go backend. But I use Feathers on the client (basically replaces fetch/axios) which gives you middleware on the client. Its nice.

Nest.js

A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable and scalable server-side applications.
Pricing:
- Open Source
Coming from frameworks such as ASP.NET Core, Flask and Laravel myself, I like having a mix of control, and rapid development. So when I moved over to Node, mostly because I liked the syntax and was getting started with GraphQL and Typescript, I was pleased to come across NestJS. Express is just far too barebones in my opinion to build larger projects.
