Yeah Next.js is really heavily moving toward SSR. They are also moving away from Node with their new Edge runtime which uses the V8 engine. CloudFlare also have a fantastic platform that uses V8 called Workers. Packed full of features for $0/mo.
The only downside is you have to code pretty much everything yourself as Node packages will not work. There are more and more V8-compatible and pure JS/TS packages coming out every day though.
