Keeping the view state in the server is what Java Server Faces did and trust me you don't want to repeat that same mistake.

Here's an interesting response from Elixir's creator (and contributor to LiveView) specifically about JSF:

I don't know JSF so I can't really argue this point, but I'd really love to hear what you think about the argument Jose put forward and where you might disagree!
I kept a real nasty implementation of this alive for the last two years while building a REST api and React frontend to replace it.
I learned a good lesson, though: no logic in template files! Ever!
