> With this type of contingency plan, I don't see any reason to use server-side rendering at all

A case of vital context missing. Ever tried something like Next.js? It's a react framework for client + server-side rendering. What's really cool about it is that it does SSR for the initial view and the client-side react picks it up from there. It doesn't sound very impressive like that but where it blew my mind was when I realized that I could save URLs for some deeply nested view in a react site, enter that URL later and I'd get an instantaneous SSR'd view seamlessly.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that some tech is cool like that, not really a contingency plan but a plan.
