So then just to experiment, I set up https://github.com/prerender/prerender on my own VPS in like an hour... and done & dusted... no more effort needed to think about SSR issues anymore. Seems great, and I can't figure out why it's not more popular.

I don't use prerender so I can't definitively speak to it being solved and hiccup-free, but I think that limitation is going to go away in the future.
