Any good multiplayer frameworks? Any good multiplayer frameworks?

I’m making a 2D turn-based strategy game and i’m using react and phaser for frontend and express, socketio for backend. I’ve currently only set up the board generation, and now have to set up the multiplayer features. I want most of, if not all of the important code back end. I need stuff like state management and multiplayer features like gamerooms etc. i could probably make all of this from scratch, but there is probably something i can use thats way quicker. I tried boardgame.io, but couldnt quite wrap my head around it. I’ve heard things about frameworks like colyseus and nakama, would these fit well for a turn based game? What framework would you recommend?
