> it's hard to find concrete evidence though

It's hard to find concrete evidence for anything in SEO. However, from what I've seen (and is also shown by some big websites that index just fine) at least Google seems to do handle client side rendering just fine and has been doing so for ~5+ years.

For my part, I've had exactly the opposite experience. Without SSR or equivalent, you often have to wait weeks for your content to be indexed on Google, and the quality of the results varies. I'm talking about sites of at least several hundred/thousand pages.

Same. Lots of concrete info out there the more time one spends in SEO openly seeing how non-tech people achieve SEO, and most of the time (not surprisingly) Wordpress is server side.
