Ehhhhh it kinda' depends. Most things that are merely changing how something already present on the page is displayed? Probably don't need JS. Doing something cool based on the submit or response of a form? Probably don't need JS. Changing something dynamically based off of what the user is doing? Might not need JS!
Need to do some computation off of the response of said form and change a bunch of the page? You probably need JS. Need to support older browsers simply doing all of the previously described things? Probably need JS.
It really, really depends on what needs to happen and why. Most websites are still in the legacy support realm, at least conceptually, so JS sadly is required for many, many websites. Not that they use it in the most ideal way, but few situations are ideal in the first place.
A lot of this is just non-tech savvy people failing to understand the limitations and history of the internet.
(this isn't to defend the BS modern corporations pull, but just to explain the "how" of the often times shitty requirements the web devs are dealing with)
Virtually any form validation besides the basics HTML provides is enough to require JS, and input validation (paired with server-side validation ofc) saves both user frustration and bandwidth
Of course it depends, like all things. But in my mind, there's a few select, very specific types of pages that wouldn't require at least a bit of JavaScript these days. Very static, non-changing, non-interactive. Even email could work/has worked with HTML only. But the experience is severely limited and reduced, of course.
