It's possible but 'quite easy' does it a disservice as it is often not the case at any reasonable scale. Pinterest wrote a great article [1] on how they've handled it recently.

It really depends on your tech stacks. Running python on the backend and JS on the frontend will create enough impedance mismatch to indeed make server-side rendering of react rather difficult.

Clojure's reagent and re-frame remove most of the complexity and tools from the equation. You run the same (mostly) code on the backend and frontend. This is what I meant by quite easy :)
