I don't know the specifics of your use cases obviously, but I find that it's often a matter of changing how you approach a specific technical requirement from a server-side dynamic solution to a client-side dynamic solution. What I mean by this is that rather than solving the problem with a new page request, we might be able to solve it with a client-side request to an API or serverless function (there is always a server involved somehow 😉) and then some JavaScript to change the client state/update the UI. That's all Next.js is doing with SSR after all and why it can be enabled on services like Netlify even though they are "static."
