There's nothing wrong with using the request-response model that the web was actually made for.
The only wrong thing is that it is going against the trend of SPA everything, if everyone is jumping off the cliff, does that mean you also have too ?
But I'm not a web developer, I develop all kinds of software, and some of them happen to run on the web.
One thing I wish web developers would learn is that its okay to do something that's fit for your context, its okay to use traditional things that work, you don't have to always follow the crowds to shiny newer green pastures.
Its also okay to do things differently, the only judge of the chosen solution should be the results, and that's pretty much context dependent and very hard to replicate in other situations, you have to follow your instincts, ignore the masses.
Software is so hard (it is not easy), and everything in the ends is the result of your communication with the involved people, its more about people, the people that matter to the project, and not the crowd (the other web developers), they are going for hype, they don't actually matter that much.
If static pages solve the problem, then they solve the problem, you don't actually need a SPA or something, for example. But if you need them, that's fine too, but the problem and the situation define that.
I'm in this profession to solve problem and produce value, not to please crowds, follow trends, and get exposure, follow the hype, bite the bullet or something, this is not the fashion industry.
