I've tried both, and love their potential.

I would highly advise any startup considering using them to reconsider. You don't want your business to being running into rough edges all day. You don't want to be reinventing things all day.

They're fun, and especially deno is really fun. It feels more like go, where you control everything.

Can you expand on what you mean by "not nearly as productive as node"? I've found the opposite to be true, because of the simplified tooling.

That said, most of my Deno projects have been fairly basic, so I'm curious if there's a point at which the early wins give way to hidden pain points.
