I think he means that it's best to offer both variants with a graceful fallback for no-js users. This doesn't require sacrificing interactivity, responsiveness or UX for users with JS enabled.

It does, however, require a potentially large amount of work for a SPA. Granted, server-side rendering for JavaScript libraries like Ember and React is doable now.

"Graceful fallback" is what came before progressive enhancement, and is considered obsoleted for good reason. Graceful fallbacks tend to be maintained as a separate version, and neglected over time. Progressive enhancement means taking a basic page and adding snazzy functionality to it - eg. ajaxified page loads. The latter is what you want.
