My 2c: I've seen good experiences, but a lot more poor ones. I've worked on them and they were n times more expensive for very little benefit. I don't think it's by design, but more cynical people might. I think it's just a dogma among developers and management too afraid to step in because developers hold too much power. They want to work on this because everyone else is, and if they can't they will go somewhere else and then you need to find new developers and everyone knows there aren't any available.
We switched to a server side rendered spa stack because the developers said "don't want to be stuck on old fashioned stacks, want to work on cool things". We then needed twice the time and twice the developers to get things done.
So basically the way out of this is for someone to hype up a server side solution and sell it as a shiny new thing. It needs to be logical in a way that makes lights in heads go on, but also somewhat mysterious and new. Deno Islands fit that mold, we'll see if it pans out.
One of the linked articles is much better and to the point: https://ericwbailey.website/published/modern-health-framewor...
