Using node as a middle/communication layer between the front and back end

I am in the process of architecting a very large enterprise application that will have an Angular 5+ front end and a Spring based Java back end with a multiservice setup. I am thinking about using node as a middle layer between the 2 to keep my rest end points and the basic validation that matches the front end validation.1st, is this a common/good practice. 2nd, are there any recommended frameworks for this setup such as sails or nest? And last, is there any advice or recommended articles you know of before I start down this path?Thanks in advance!
