Well there are alternatives to Next.js that handle SSR. Remix for example. That's a popular one. For a smaller project I wouldnt be afraid of rolling your own with Vite. It's pretty simple. And for any developer I'd really recommend implementing SSR yourself with an express server or whatever. It really increases your understanding of how frameworks work.
