I'm not sure its FUD, your main page takes 63.5KB + 38.7KB for the gatsby reactified framework? + an extra 39.8KB in some js bundle and another 51.7KB in some other js bundle.
Also you end up thrashing 5MB of browser storage when I hovered a link check out Application -> Storage in Chrome.
Maybe I'm crazy but your page should not need that much, your site is making 20 requests to resources (thankfully you have http2) and the longest request took about 7s on a slow 3g connection. For comparison here is Tom MacWright's page https://macwright.com/ https://macwright.com/ which does 2 requests at 14kB total taking 2.3s on a slow 3g connection.
I will give you the prefetch trick is superslick in the Gatsby framework for blogs but no reason to have a whole React framework around it. Just use https://instant.page/ https://instant.page/
I say all this and I do love the component nature of React and SPA's (I love Svelte the most at the moment) but it does really not feel like the right tool for 99% of personal blogs.
