It's mostly a myth that relying on JavaScript makes a website inaccessible (partially propagated by the woefully out of date Section 508 requirements in the US - the update is currently in progress and will be very close to WCAG 2.0 [1]). The reality is that very few screenreader users disable JavaScript [2] surprise! they're much like any other user). A properly coded SPA, using aria-* properties is as accessible to most AT users as a traditional server-side application.
