Personally I've had great success with adding Web Components to server side rendered projects. It's really simple to just bind a class to the custom element and attach a few event listeners. If you need something a bit more complex rendered on the client side you can use mithril or similar libraries like lit-html. When I need to hydrate a state I JSON encode the model as a data-state attribute and I decode it when the Web Component's connectedCallback method fires.

I've been enjoying building Web Components via lit-html for my recent projects:
