I'm open to hybrid being defined as two possible things: a regular SPA with server side rendering (SSR on manual refresh and first visit). Nextjs for react, Nuxtjs for VueJS, angular universal. I think OP was talking about the other definition of hybrid. The second definition is for when your team prefers or is only trained in or is maintaining codebases in the legacy MPA style, typically similar to Rails+jQuery. When you need a specific div element to have advanced UI components and a jQuery plugin didn't fit the needs, the answer was "not happening". VueJS showed up and changed this to "can budget finite dev hours and willing to maintain", as it had good tutorials for assuming you wanted a small widget instead of a full rewrite to SPA. Do this enough times, and you have a hybrid. Now you have enough SPA-ness that you can be satisfied or you can plan a multi-sprint "convert the rest to SPA" project.
