Starting with the "Heavy JS Front-End" premise feels a bit leading.

I just rewrote a huge old server side Perl app in JS and it really wasn't that different in terms of real work required to build the app and there are some real benefits with going that route.

SSR is fairly common nowadays.

Common nowadays as in "back in style" maybe, but that's never reached a point of being uncommon, has it?
