I've never used Symfony so I can't speak to that. But having written sites in PHP from scratch, with Laravel, with Angular + Laravel + Lumen, I've never been happier since switching to Node.
As far as longevity, the Angular + Laravel + Lumen app has been in production for years and it's not terrible to maintain from a code perspective, but any deviation from the norm was a headache. I can throw some pointers your way if you decide to go that route.
The tooling 5 years ago also isn't what it is now and if I started today it may be easier.
But I just enjoy the experience so much more in the JS / TypeScript ecosystem. Pick the level of abstraction you want and go from there. I only touch PHP today because I have to maintain things.
