Currently the site I'm building is a pretty static site of about 30-50 pages that is just brochureware for a non-profit scientific organization, on one hand I feel sort of embarrassed because it feels like I'm back in 2004 and I have a hard time justifying my salary for something like this, on the other hand I'm really super embarrassed at making the wrong solution because a React SPA with a service worker has been ordained as the way to make this thing.

Gatsby (static-site generator powered by React) was a massive timesaver for me. Sure, you spend a bit longer setting up some basic components, but the trivial ability to share those components between pages more than makes up for it...
Yes of course I want Gatsby, but that is one of the things I'm not being allowed to do. I think I may have gotten overly sensitive these years to not getting my way on architecture.
