honestly I browse without JS enabled most of the time and most websites not only work just fine (to the extent that they show the content I requested), but they also load faster, look cleaner, and the overall experience is a huge improvement. Considering that in the rare cases where it doesn't work it's just a couple of clicks to selectively allow JS (which can be remembered so I only need to do this one time) or to re-enable JS globally it's really not a problem.
It'll depend somewhat on what you use the internet for I guess, but it doesn't make the internet broken by any means. Because of the work I do I've got a ton of other things disabled too which can make it harder than it would be for most people and it still usually isn't an issue. I also keep a non-hardened browser around for cases where it really is a problem, but I rarely need it.
