> is a fully RESTful HTML API simply a website that doesn't use any JS?

No, I don't think so. Sprinkling a little client side JS can certainly be beneficial and doesn't invalidate it being a RESTful HTML API. _hyperscript [1] was created by the htmx author for that purpose. There's a book [2] that you may not have seen written by some core htmx dev's that goes into this [3] in more detail.
