Develop the web app using the most appropriate technology for the day, then put it in a container. Run the web app in the container, but manage access through a proxy server that you can update and keep secure. I think this solution technically meets your needs because you're not updating the web app but the proxy in front of it. Now you're only longevity dependency is on the container technology, but there are ways to update the containers themselves without touching the contents where your web app lies.
