The middleway is not the problem. As you mention about the strawmannery; the problem is that often the "tried and tested" people are resistant to trying something else. On the other extreme, the "React, SPA, SSR" people often discredit the page reload thing without thinking whether it works in the scenario. I'm all for learning both ways, but don't like it when someone suggests something without objectively motivating why.
