Depends how much you want to want to avoid showing a spinner during first load _and_ when moving between pages.
And how much skill you have to not mess up basic browser functionality.
As a reference point, GitHub still breaks the back button for me like 40% of times when I'm navigating their source code (me using Chrome on OSX because I only need to do this on my work laptop). I don't even know how they manage to do this.
In my experience, sites that generate HTML server-side tend to feel faster and more reliable than anything that depends on rendering client-side. Loading a booru with 50+ images per page with a cold cache in my browser, always feels quicker and more pleasant than loading text-only GitHub pages that should already be cached everywhere and haven't been modified for days.
