Jquery is a swear word in professional front end contexts, the replacement is transpilation and dropping ie support.
Personally I used jquery up until react and babel got hot, now I never touch the dom directly with jquery and no longer have a need for the polyfill features as I rely on babel preset-env to support the browsers we have selected (especially for things like promises/async await/es6+ features)

What do you still need babel for?
The only features that come to mind for anyone who needs to reach out to babel today would be those working on the tc39 proposals themselves.
