I mean, SPAs were overkill for half the shit they were being developed for. Your average web app is a CRUD app and works better as an SSR app. But there's still use cases for them, they're still a great way to build highly interactive cross platform apps.

In my experience, one of the biggest benefits of SPAs is that the front-end tends to be a bit more decoupled from the back-end when compared to SSR apps. Now, of course MPAs could be built this way, and plenty probably are, but again, it's not something I have personally seen often.

Why is this decoupling important to you? Do you use multiple front-ends or backends?

I definitely do where I work. Multiple web front ends plus mobile apps.
