I haven't personally noticed the vite/esbuild memory consumption, but I also run build only once at the end before deployment or generating the prod artifacts.
We're using typescript so building only once a day isn't an option.
I don't know what machine you're using, but filling 2.5GB of RAM was already taking less than 200ms back in 2018.
I don't suspect memory usage is an issue here.
And getting more RAM is just delaying the problem anyways since it takes more RAM every week as the product evolves.
During development vite has HMR and you don't need to run build after every change. This is no different when using SSR.
But I don't want to further argue. If you think that SPA is not suitable for your use case, that's ok.
It does reload changes very quickly so I guess it has some caching somewhere.

I personally never seen a use case which did not end up the way I'm describing, my 2 previous companies suffered the same issues.
I even warned my current company that there's a good chance that it would end up the same way and sure enough it did.
