That kind of says it, doesn't it? Try to get better knowledge with Vue/React and land a job at a product company with a cool application that you like. The problems there are much more interesting than "nudging things 1px this way and 2px that way". I can tell that because I'm a frontend engineer myself.
I'm very sorry to hear that. As someone who has arthritis my advice to you is to eat healthily, manage your stress, and don't forget about physical activity: therapy, walking, biking - listen to your body, and see what works for you. All the doctors I've been to said that the key thing to prevent the illness develop further is the activity.
I fully agree with this. Zoom has done a huge amount of work optimizing its transfer protocols to make it that reliable. Is it possible to offer same reliability using WebRTC in a browser when 50 participants are connected? I am not sure. Even https://whereby.com/ offers only up to 12 people on their highest plan.
I think videoconferencing software like Remotehour serves a different purpose - seamlessly jump to a videocall without any software required to install until zoom releases a web client.
