A SPA is really just a desktop app where you are forced to use JS and need to BYO front end tool kit. For that we have Typescript (mature) and React (mature). I'd say it's a boring as a WPF app in Windows or an iOS Objective C app. I think we know how to do this well in the general case for most business CRUD needs. That said I am always of the opinion of don't SPA if you don't need to. (also don't spar if you don't need to!).

While it’d be nice to build out an app with only Typescript and React, they’re just the basics. Is routing in react as mature and boring as a UINavigationController whose API has barely changed since 2009, for example? Is animation? Accessibility? Styling? Are the material-ui and ant-ui kits as boring and mature as the platform’s UIKit? And I’m not even going to bother going into development environments, or the effects of all these different approaches & API changes on documentation and support!
