My own feeling is that it is definitely worth spending some time
checking frameworks, because WDialog is quite basic, and the stuff that
we want to do on the web client (displaying lists, selecting, sorting and
such stuff) is quite universal so there should be no need to reinvent the
wheel, as you said.

I think that it is also worth exploring existing web technologies. I know that
ocaml is nice (hey, it's you who got me to use it at work!) but with popular
technologies such as the ones you mentionned, we have more chances of finding
development frameworks and developpers.
