Is there any reasons to not to do functional programming with Node.js?

I do not know a lot about backend coding because I do mainly front end with React and Redux kind of stack. I was surprised when my backend coworkers at office are doing lots of mutating objects etc in their code. Which makes the code very hard to read and dangerous when comparing to my experiences on front end when I did not know about functional programming.So is there some reasons how backend and front end differs in this case? Are there some good resources that will convince them to do functional programming on backend also? :D
