I went full JS three years ago from a Java/Spring background and never looked back.
As a solo developer I noticed a huge increase in productivity and the time it took to ship code to production. My use case is a SaaS application with ~50 users.
Coding skills did improve but I think that's just a natural progression for everyone and wouldn't attribute it to a specific language.
Pros: very open community, lots of learning resources, no enforced standards.
Cons: it's easy to get things wrong, keeping up with new libraries is intimidating.
Tip: start small, create a twitter bot or something, use ES7
