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.

Spending like 1 hour setting up prerender on my server is much preferable to the ongoing issues that come with having to make all my code work with SSR frameworks. And there's the added bonus that my servers don't need to waste resources doing SSR for regular human users.

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.
