This isn't strictly true. Though the workflow isn't ideal yet, it's perfectly possible to build a React project which is initially rendered on the server and then progressively enhanced. I've done it before, as have others.

In fact, my single biggest criteria for any tech I add to my stack is that it doesn't get in the way of server-side rendering (the second biggest criteria is that it doesn't add significant weight to the client-side JavaScript payload).

Sounds great. Do you know any good resources for building a react application by progressive enhancement?

Google "server side React rendering".
