There is a place for SPAs. I just built a single page React app (using the create-react-app package) that mostly replaced a complex pile of spreadsheets. It came out fantastic, I think. The entire compressed Javascript is about 150 kilobytes, the scripts typically load in less than 500 milliseconds, and my co-workers are very happy. The code is easy to change and the interface between the client and server is clean. (Note: I disabled the built-in PWA features; they made versioning difficult due to excessive caching.) On the other hand, I also maintain a public facing service that is mostly server-rendered with lots of JQuery snippets. I don't see a need to convert it to a SPA. It works well as-is. I conclude from my experience that public facing services probably shouldn't be SPAs, while things that outgrow spreadsheets might be good candidates for SPAs. I wonder what other areas have been explored.
