I suspect nisten is referring to server side rendering using React.

I think so too, but my statement still stands.

There's nothing new or especially special about "server side rendering", and nothing about React rendering either.

Rendering on the server lets you do whatever you want.

Want to put the user in a specific state? Sure, go for it.

Want to use a starter or null-state? Sure, go for it.
