> I don't get point 2, if they are to 'hydrate' the react renders in node with data, they have to have a 'fetching' logic in there

The way I am understanding their blog post, they have a dedicated server (let's call it server1) for api requests, and then a server for rendering (let's call it server2). Server1 does all the fetching logic and then sends the received and appropriately processed json to server2, which needs only to use this data for rendering.
