There are two substantial online communities which don't use javascript, or don't use it reliably.
Robots and the disabled.
Bots include major search engines -- Google, Bing, DDG, etc. And yes, they may parse some JS, but it's quite spotty. But there are also a bazillion custom Web scrapers (not everything's APId, scraping is MVP) which harvest information for purposes good and otherwise.
The disabled use screen-readers or text-to-speech to render content for those who cannot see your pixel-perfect design.
I'm leaning to a "plaintext first" school of Web design. First plan a plaintext page, then mobile, then full desktop. See where that gets you.
