Most judgements I've read online of CSR vs SSR miss that distinction of website and web-based application. Clearly if your website essentially just retrieves some data and displays it to the user, you can use SSR. It seems most frontend discussion - and even most of the frontend dev velocity - focuses on this context. Other common advice is "you don't need global state mgmt - use component state and a query library with good caching". Nigh impossible to retain performance and high interactivity without redux/mobx/etc. It's very empowering to be able to create sophisticated web apps that run on any device with a web browser! SPA is a very valuable pattern.
