So basically an old style MVC framework style app like RoR, CodeIgniter etc but made with a JSON response the describes the page rather like Shopify's Store Theme 2.0? Sounds great. Now since you have access to the server code (unlike Shopify's system described above) just return HTML and use your JS flavour of choice in the places where you need heavy JS ... like we used to make web apps. The happiest web devs I speak to are those working in the older MVC style, mainly RoR people. While everyone in AWS/Serverless/JS land is burning out and miserable with the house of cards stack we are balancing React on top of.
