For nodejs I can recommend few things
- book nodejs design patters,
- udemy course understand js & understand nodejs
- road map for node js
overall node subreddit is a great resource. You just have to go through all threads in the past years sorted by top.

> Is that what you meant with "serving JSON, not whole web views"?
Yep. Exactly.
When you were last coding, all we really had was web sites, but places like Facebook and Google were pushing "Web 2.0" and web apps.
Now apps are the norm. Not just web apps, but mobile apps, smartwatch apps, smart TV apps, apps that run on games consoles, apps that run on your fridge, apps that run in VR...
All these apps have completely different user interfaces and UI concerns (maybe it's touchscreen, maybe there's no keyboard...) but probably share the same data. So we separate the UI (the front end) from the data (the back end) whenever possible. One back end can serve up data that can be interpreted and presented by many different front ends. Changing one front end shouldn't change the data.
> Are there any good resources and learning materials online for React and PHP8?
I don't know PHP well enough to direct you to any current resources. You could try r/learnphp
For React, the library's own tutorial is excellent. You might be reading it thinking "wtf is this language?" That's the ES6 JavaScript I mentioned. If you need to catch up on it, https://javascript.info/ is where to head.
If you want to spend money on a course, Wes Bos is an excellent teacher. Check out his ES6 for Everyone and React for Beginners courses.
> JavaScript on the back end... I would have never imagined... how does that even work? Goes googling again
Again, Wes Bos has a Learn Node course, but Learn and Understand NodeJS by Anthony Alicea on Udemy comes highly recommended.
You don't need to learn Node since you'll find getting re-acquainted with PHP much easier and that will get you going much faster. But there are definitely more Node jobs than PHP jobs today if that's your goal.

Check out the site Udemy.com and start on a basic JavaScript course. This is to introduce you to the syntax. Just a heads up, traditional JavaScript is meant to work with web browsers, where as Node.js is a back end language just like C#.
The second thing is doing this intro course to Node.js. It will explain to you what it is and how it differs from traditional JavaScript. https://www.udemy.com/course/understand-nodejs/
The third thing is to take a class in Node.js online from Udemy.com.
I recommend Udemy.com because they are video tutorials with certain standards. Yes, you can go to other sites which are just as good. I am only recommending this because I've done it. Lessons from Youtube tend to be sporadic and don't have the support these courses do.

From personal experience, I'd recommend you take the following path since I am exactly in your position and I've been studying node for the past couple of weeks.
