It isn't 2010 anymore.

React (just to name an example, there are many others) completely avoids this issue - you get serverside and clientside rendering out of the box.

You dropped the context of that quote. React isn't exactly a poster child of progressive enhancement.

Actually it's very well suited to it (well, in theory at least - haven't tried it yet). You can render the same html on the server as on the client, using node.js, so you can build a page on the server and then let the JS enabled client take over after the initial page load, or let the server do the work for the non-JS enabled browser.
