As indicated by [your source](https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/is-no-javascript-contact-form-an-accessibility-problem/366097) using (or not) JS is mostly independent of accessibility since the latter is obtained mainly through HTML and CSS.

As a side note, while not using JavaScript is an option, you must also consider the performance and UX implications of this:

- client-side validations provide instant feedback and spare the server for extra calls
- using AJAX (or wrappers provided by modern UI frameworks) calls provide a better user experience because almost only a tiny bit of information is exchanged with the web server and application feedback is better

Depending on the web application traffic and users' expectations, these might be more than simple "convenience" features.
