Perhaps I missed it, but the single biggest reason that I moved away from SPAs (such as React) and back to server-side rendering of templates is avoiding having to model my data twice. That’s a lot of overhead.
Granted, I’m in the B2B software space, so end-user expectations are those of accuracy, consistency and performance. I imagine expectations (or perhaps priorities) are different for consumer-facing applications.
There are a lot of solutions out there where you can share your datatypes between the client and server now though, and it's great!
This comment would be more helpful with some examples. I’m personally very curious what the leading solutions are. I’ve worked with one involving GraphQL but that’s about it.
