Great question! I also thought about that the last couple of days, after using Hugo for my personal site.

It eventually depends on your project requirements and what kind of content you want to display. As already mentioned, there are use cases, like social media or e-commerce, where you need to display dynamic content.
But when only displaying static content, JAMstack is the way to go. Your site loads much faster. If necessary, you can use JavaScript. Hosting your site is pretty easy and the costs for hosting are very cheap.

In the end, traditional web architecture will not disappear because there are still scenarios where you want to render your site on the server. And there are still many projects where migrating to new a architecture is very costly. But for new projects it's definitely worth considering.
