SAPUI5, not OpenUI5, application development in VSCode

I am working on one pet project to get the better understanding of the SAPIUI5 framework. About me, I am a very experienced front-end developer and enjoy working in VS Code IDE. I started SAPUI5 development in SAP Web IDE and then exported the project to eclipse to run it locally, but in eclipse, I was missing a lot of new features like es6 and es7 and some plugins, so I moved my project to VS Code. In VS code, I introduced grunt to run a small static web server to run my SAPUI5 application, so far it is working fine, and I have no issues, but I am worried about the hidden scenarios that I can't see right now in regards to SAP UI5 deployment and deployment environment. With no experience in the deployment environment and production environment requirements for SAPUI5 client-side application. Can you guys please tell me of any potential issues if there are any in this sort of approach and development of SAPUI5 with VS CODE?

Potential issues:

ES6 and ES7 is not supported across all browsers, so you might want to add Babel to your grunt chain.

Deployment:

The grunt plugin grunt-openui5 lets you minify the code into a single Component-preload.js.

The grunt plugin grunt-nwabap-ui5uploader lets you deploy your code directly to SAP NetWeaver.

Here is a sample by SAP which shows their Gruntfile: https://github.com/SAP/openui5-sample-app
