My experience exactly. Why one would do that anyway? Not listening to experienced engineers and being blinded by modern FE hype. Thinking just because many other businesses do it, one has to do it too. Then decision made by non-technical or not too technical management people.
And sure enough, then came the self inflicted workload. "Oh we need to change the router.". A problem you do not have with any popular mature web framework on the backend. "We need to upgrade to NextJS version 149, for feature blablub." Which would come naturally with something like Django or other traditional web framework. "We need to upgrade NodeJS!" ... and so on and on.
While all of what the FE actually did could have been just render static templates and a few lines of script.
Companies choose their own downfall by following the FE hype trains. The result are the shitty web apps, that don't need to be "apps" in the first place, but could simply have been static pages. It is quite a comedy show and I would laugh, if it did not affect me negatively.
