It's absolutely useful. If you wait for the HTML page to load, to fetch the script, to start the react app, to have the react app make the rest/graphql calls your perf will be awful.

You want to fetch and stream in the response to your query part of your document response. Me and my coworkers gave a talk on this and it's used on facebook.com: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxPtYJRjLL0

In some situations you even want to stream the response within your query response within your document.
