So, the solution is to keep all your NPM repos out of the page.

But the issue is not really solved, as your backend either has NPM [Node], Composer [PHP], PyPI [Python], etc. AFAIK all of these have worse sandboxing than the browser does.

(I recognize that the threat envelope is different.

Eg. a Stripe form never sends the credit card info to your back-end, so it may be better. On the other hand, the server can access the Stripe key, which is a crown jewel...)

What is the solution?
