I don't understand how spa is different than vanilla web app in terms of user analytics? A beacon is a beacon. Whether its img tag with a 1x1 transparent gif or an ajax call.

Also validation is usually built on both client and server for the same things. Like if you have a password complexity validation. Its both on UX and the server otherwise it will be a very terrible UX experience.

A SPA can track the mouse cursor, as well as stealing form content that was left unsubmitted.

You don’t even need JavaScript. CSS has Hover attribute and you can use it to fire beacons.

Htmlx has a type ahead attribute that you can add to form elements and send the contents to an endpoint without the user explicit submitting the form.
