I don't think so, at least not for the kinds of apps I build. My biggest problem is largely around interactivity -- shuffling lots of data back-and-forth between the client and the server. If I'm going to have a SSR app with lots of AJAX code running on the client, I might as well just go all-client.

SSR can be used with React (NextJS), Vue (NuxtJS) and Angular (Universal Angular).
Isn't that use case just to save time on initial load? An SPA with SSR for load times is different from a webapp structured to have logic mostly in the server.
That and for the bots, that cannot run javascripts, but do render the page thumbnail for others (facebook et al).
This supports the argument you're replying to.
