The JavaScript fanatics will downvote me for saying this, but I'll say this, "using a single JavaScript codebase on your client-side and server-side is like cooking food in your toilet, sooner or later, contamination is guaranteed" [1]

You can still have separate codebases for server and client in JS/TS...

You're mixing programming languages with software architecture.

This isn't a Javascript problem, this is a React problem. You could theoretically rewrite React and RSC in any language and the outcome would be the same. Say Python ran in the browser natively, and you reimplented React on browser and server in Python. Same problem, not Javascript.
