I used this architecture myself for a while, but I don't think I would implement a new project in terms of it at this point. Given a caching reverse-proxy like CloudFlare, there's no disadvantage in serving your client from the app itself. Meanwhile, you get the advantage of being able to test the server during development by just hitting the single ip:port it's running on—and have your automated testing do the same with subrequests, by using the Host header from the request context—without having to make all your test-harness code "infrastructure-aware", teaching it about ports and figuring out ways to pass them in and route them through Docker and map them to domains instead of ports in production and such.
