Isnt that what happened to Gatsby oO
99% of all js project would have been better with an old school framework (Rails/Symfony/Django/laravel, and any other framework I forgot the name)

Write SSR, but have the ability to render partials and swap html chunks into the DOM directly rather than running json through a CSR library.
You still get client originated events (user clicks a button) or server originated events, e.g. server wants to proactively push a change - at least for liveview and htmx.
