This is why I like strongly opinionated frameworks! People get hung up on whether they agree with the opinions themselves, which is valid, but I think kinda misses the point. The great strength of opinionated frameworks is the speed with which you can get "everyone to think about a shared goal in a similar way", to use your phrasing. They do have their problems of course and if you ask me in 5 years, maybe I feel the opposite way about it.

I also tend to like opinionated frameworks. On top of easing the onboarding process, they can also afford to have more detailed docs/support/stability because they don’t have to account for there being a million ways to do even a basic thing.

I’m sympathetic, in theory, to the downsides noted by Rich Hickey in Simple Made Easy and Uncle Bob in Architecture The Lost Years… but IRL, I can’t say I’ve ever seen a project successfully lean into those principles at any significant scale. So maybe more of an academic appreciation there.
