It's easy to make an SPA blow out of proportions and exponentially ruin UX.

Think cascading requests, you need to render a list of user saved posts, you fetch the list, then you fetch details for each item, then you render them (n+1 problem). In a simple SSR app even if you do some inefficient backend queries, the overhead is trivial compared to the equivalent SPA logic. This is just an example, but I think in general is way easier to screw up an SPA than it is to screw up an SSR site.
