The main reasons (IMHO) to have SSR are:

* SEO capabilities * Faster response for first page load

And for both of those, a CDN is useful, if not essential - you're missing out on a lot of performance boost if you don't.

Other reasons to have SSR include things such as unfurling, where a CDN isn't essential, but still nice to have.
