Even the full page loads aren't necessary with Turbolinks or PJAX. If I had a choice, thats definitely what I'd be using for what I'm working on now at an ecommerce company. But the boss insists on microservices, and the once the advantages that come with a monolith are gone the SPA is just a better approach imo

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Turbolinks and PJAX work through JS as well?

Yes, but way less. Turbolinks in particular basically just requires you to add the library, which is very lightweight, and then you get page changes without the bad visuals of the whole screen flashing white, and it's not too difficult to keep it fast too.
