Steps to replace jquery_ui:

Step 1) composer require drupal/jq_ui

Step 2) drush en jq_ui -y;

Step 3) drush cr;

Step 4) Sip from a marguerita

How is this possible you might ask? composer replace and a repaired copy of the jquery_ui in the jquery_ui folder inside of jq_ui!

Why was jQ UI created?

Nearly 3 years went by waiting for a solution to a date datepicker refactor regression. It's a bit complicated to explain the history but to make it short, the easy solution is jQ UI which easily replaces jquery_ui. I decided there was not another day to waste without a proper solution. jQ UI also provides a current release of jQuery UI (1.14.1).
