It's obviously nonsense. The lowest latency cache and state storage is clientside. You can piss around with multi regions and SSR to minimize latency but that's just placing a lot of regional caches near your users. The nearest place is in their actual browser -> offline first is the future

Client-side storage sucks, especially if you want to visit the same site from multiple devices. Without more code to sync this data, it's not great.

Being dependant on a reliable internet connection sucks, especially when travelling. SSR just won't work for mobile. With offline first, the client is the lowest latency server possible. Yes you should sync too. Offline first, not offline only
