I am a fullstack developer specialized in frontend technologies like reactjs. I also love programmimg in go. Currently im working on https://stormkit.io to make developers lives easier.
As far as I know, deploying an SPA app with Google App Engine is pretty straightforward. However, some of the things I've noticed:
As soon as you want to add server side rendering to your static websites things become more complicated - unless you'd like to use frameworks like gatsby. But even in this case if you have dynamic content like latest blog entries or latest products you can't use a framework like this.
You have to manage/setup your own CI/CD.
Handling different environments is more tricky, like setting up staging and production environments.
Finally, GAE is universal. You can host a lot of different applications while here the focus is only web applications. Right now, it's in alpha stage with minimal features. I am trying to gather as much feedback as possible and iterate over the software based on this input.
Very good point.

good points, but also I used it with python & flask for dynamic websites with db access, seemed pretty straightforward to me
