You don't need to use React as a SPA, though, is what I'm saying. (When using React, those component trees, too, compile to 100% plain-ol'-functions.)
Twirl is fine, insofar as it's attached to the Play (that's not to impugn you for picking it, my history with Play is colorful and frustrating). I wouldn't raise a flag for that. But not using something in this vein definitely is, and React is probably the most accessible way to do it for the 90-95% case of developers.
It is functional (well, as functional as React), and templates compile to plain 'ol functions, so compatibility and static typing is the same as the rest of the your program.
Obviously, if I needed a SPA or something, it's not what I would use, but again, not everything should be an SPA.
