SSR and PushState have prevented your "for whats?" from being real issues ever. Mixing markup and logic along with not capturing benefits from the transpiler are more symptoms of poor implementation decisions rather than flaws with the actual tool.
One thing to keep in mind is that Moleskine notebooks are designed for use with pencil. They are also pretty poor quality, especially considering their price. Leuchtturm notebooks are around the same price point and have much, much higher quality paper that can stand up well to even very wet pens.
After doing something similar for about two years, really the only thing that seems to work is co-working and office rental options. Airbnbs just aren't set up to be worked out of. Most of the places that tag themselves as including an office / laptop station in actuality don't. I had the best luck with airbnbs that were actual homes people rented out, those sometimes included a nice work space. No company or person doing the vacation rental thing cares about that amenity.
Tried shipping things, with customs taking so long in some countries it didn't work out at all.
It seemed most feasible to create an ergonomic standup work space, then you just need an external keyboard and mouse and something to stand your laptop on.
In my experience this doesn't work. Customs for some countries can take well over a month. I almost missed something in Italy because it took so long to get through customs and I was there for three months. I did another test and sent some things from an island in Croatia and less than half the things I shipped made it and it took almost three months.
