Regardless of cross-functional teams, I think having to make changes at an API level at the backend for UI changes will negate a lot of the benefit.

For clarity, I don't think you need to treat your own front-end like an external consumer & think it's fine to have bespoke endpoints as needed.

What I'm skeptical of is the author's suggestion that a backend endpoint brings back presentational info like "leftBoxTitle".
