Author of Elder.js (mentioned in the article) and avid lover of both MPA and SPA. Daily I am writing MPAs for SEO assets and SPAs for internal dashboards used to manage the huge amount if data collection our teams do. It really boils down to what you are building. Google is decidedly terrible about indexing JS for sites with a low crawl budget. Why make your life harder. That is why I wrote Elder.js. Statically generate everything, sprinkle in interactivity where needed. But for internal dashboards I developed a internal framework to spit out crud apps based on nothing more than a couple graphql queries and a couple yupjs validations. It is a breeze and adding new data collection fields takes minutes so I and my team can focus on stuff that drives business value… instead of crud. As with everything picking the right tool for the job makes the job a lot easier. Don’t give into the hype one way or another.
