My experience is that vanilla Gatsby, out of the box, performs horribly on things like PageSpeed compared to “true” SSGs like Hugo or Jekyll.

And progressive enhancement is kind of a solution looking for a problem, there are a lot of low hanging perf fruits you can pick before considering PE.

progressive enhancement is kind of a solution looking for a problem

Progressive enhancement is a solution to the problem of giving users the best experience possible without serving unnecessary code, or breaking the site, for users who don't have the capability to run particular features. It's not a perf thing. It's a features thing. And it's a very real problem (see every site that only works in Chrome for details.)
