If it is cheap on the resources (less cpu and ram) it is probably more expensive on manpower. If it is cheaper on manpower it is probably less resource efficient.
You can take a look at the Web Framework Benchmarks [1] the fastest frameworks aren’t going to be in anything halfway common and even if the programming language is mainstream, the framework is probably not.
Virtual servers are affordable enough and scalability is unlikely to become hardware project for you. Most companies try to go with a “popular” programming language and framework during the time they form because they are more concerned about scaling their teams rather than their tech stack. Even then it might be worth paying a programmer a bit more when you have less competition finding programmers and the language/framework is productive.
Unless you have very specific needs the tech stack probably doesn’t matter much anymore.
