I am trying to get an understanding of Validation in regards to Nintex Forms and Workflows.

Having worked as an ASP/ASPX Developer, it has always been stated that Server-side Validation is the Golden Rule. Client-side Validation is convenient but should be backed up with Server-side Routines.

From what I understand Validation on Forms is through JavaScript--which is Client-side. Workflows would be Server-side.

Client-side Validation is subject to browser manipulation and hijacking.

What are community thoughts on this issue?

We are running on prem. I guess one thing to consider are restraints on the lists and libraries themselves. If some validation were hijacked, SharePoint would probably cause an error condition. For example if a required field was not filled in.
