I believe a significant motivation of SSR was to be indexed by Google, then Google said they will start crawling JS rendered pages:

So maybe that took the wind out of the sails.




Beware tho, Google has still not officially said it was able to parse SPAs as well as server-side rendered pages and have still at multiple occasion (and still recently) said that although it can deal with JS, its not perfect and leads to issues. So if SEO is important I wouldn't skip SSR.
