Question: > 1. It should do server-side rendering, for fast initial loads and no caveats around SEO Is server-side rendering still an issue for SEO? Don't maj

  I can confirm that Google can crawl SPA's like any other page. But do note that they crawl using Chrome 41 (!) so make sure you have sufficient polyfills in place. This also applies for AdWords, it drove me mad when Google kept insisting my site was not reachable, even though it was. Only after installing a client-side exception tracking tool (like raygun or errorception) I found out the page was not rendering on the 'old' browser Goolge uses internally.

  It's not as much of an issue for SEO, depending on what you're using to render. The bigger problem is Facebook, Twitter, and the like are not going to run JavaScript to read your meta tags. It's not an issue for everyone, but if you're a publisher of articles then you're still going to have to render something from the server. Of course one can come halfway by only rendering the head tag contents and not producing a body, which is where most of the complication comes from.
