For me, perfect example why not move to SPA in 2017 is Freshbooks, I'm their active user and found that their new version(introduced recently) is slow, initial load slow (very), transitions between tabs is slow etc. Personally I dont see the reason they moved to SPA (they using Ember framework which I heard very optimized in compare other frameworks(not libraries as React))

There's a ton of sites that have moved to SPAs that shouldn't be. Three come to mind as I use them quite a bit: Walmart.ca, Fido.ca and Rogers.ca

Hell even Google cannot get SPAs right using their own framework [1]

The latest version of Ember has improved performance considerably although generally it's considered slow compared to modern alternatives like Angular 2, React, Cycle, etc.
