Do you have data to back that up, or are you speaking from personal experience? I know how it can go wrong, but SPAs can become a mess too.

I had one project where we built a very beautiful, modern site that had about 50 lines of js in total. Of course your page-change times are going to be around 0.5s with an MPA, but SPAs are often slower than that anyway.

I don't know but with a service worker you could possibly reduce that 0.5 in your MPA further by caching likely next pages ahead of time.

Yes, mainly personal experience. SPAs can definitely be a mess too. Mostly calling out that managing state in one place makes unit testing easier, which usually results in a better quality codebase
