I'm not so sure that open ports are as intrinsically insecure as one might worry.  
We set up NodeJS web & API servers frequently -- very simple, very clear in 
reporting all traffic.  You do see the constant attempts by bad actors, but you can 
code the servers to not respond to all traffic except those that are permitted by 
your API terms, and accompanied by a verified token.  Been doing this over a decade 
with no hacks afaik.

or you just don't know :-)

Yup.  Exactly.  From what I can tell on a machine with an open port 443 and a 
node server reports all traffic and attempts to access that port, and I do see 
a lot of nefarious attempts by bots -- mostly looking for wordpress 
vulnerabilities (non installed), php files (there's no php server on this 
machine) and this goes on endlessly.  The server reads incoming requests 
character for character, method, header and body, and rejects all but a few 
requests.  So presumably not much can happen, but yeah, I nonetheless wonder if 
a skilled hacker with a lower level understanding than I can nonetheless get in 
without my knowledge.

I would think that if any open port could be hacked no matter what, the 
internet writ large would quickly be rendered useless

Curious your insights

my insights are common sense

a bad packet which reachs your application can trigger a error in your application

a packet thrown away by the firewall in front can't
