> . You aren't mixing state across server and client. Single Source of Truth is a thing for a good reason. If you have a stateful backend, and your front end naturally has the state of whatever the user has input, you now have to work to keep those two in sync.

Why would I want to keep any state on the client? What in the history of the web (the whole idea being its someone elses computer) would make it a good idea to take away the one major selling point of the web? That no matter what, someone else has the state I need, and I never have to worry about losing that if something happens to my connection. It either went through or it didn't.
