depends where the complexity is

many enterprise applications are "wide" complex (that is, lots of screens, but relatively simple individually) where the complexity can mainly live server side in the domain model, and hypermedia is great for these

hypermedia isn't always as good for "deep" complex apps, with complicated individual screens, because server round trips are often unacceptable from a latency perspective for them, here client-side scripting of some sort is a better solution. You can use islands for this situation to mix the two models.
