I am making web app from zero based on Node.JS (Express, etc...) and I used to use the import/export in client side lately (Transcripted by Babel).

How bad idea is to somehow setup Babel to transcript even server side files and use import/export normally. I see Node v11 have import/export as experimental feature so it will be released soon.

I want to make this project from scratch to cleanup my old boilerplate and make it easy to use and clean as much as I can.

I thought this could be optimal. After import/export will be released in Node I will just turn Babel off and I dont need to change code.

There certainly is nothing wrong with using Babel with Node, especially if you've gotten used to using import syntax client side. You should use the preset-env to manage all the transformations necessary based on your environment.
