Astro is great.

It became my default SSG a couple of years ago and now I'm seriously considering using it for apps too. Anyone has experience with that?

I'm thinking I could just use Astro for rendering the HTML with islands but still use a non-JS backend.

If you're planning on using any framework (like React), I won't recommend it. The reason being, if you're using any library from React which depends on the Context API, it will cause issues since you'll have to wrap your respective pages/components with it and handle navigation on the client side to preserve any global "state" if any. At which point, you're better off using a fullstack framework.
