I have noticed recently (perhaps within the last 6-12 months?) that I can hit many major sites via Tor with JavaScript off. there are a few that reject Tor connections or render illegibly - but, for many mainstream sites, things are actually pretty reasonable. fingerprinting and personal threat models aside, this seems like a positive move and feels different from e.g. 2 years ago.
am I slowly going insane? has anyone else noticed this? tested over time via orbot and classic Tor nodes with various hardened and non-hardened browsers and DNS resolvers.

Server side rendering has become popular again with frameworks like Svelte and Next.js. For a while basic React was popular and entirely on the client side, and thus dependent on JS to work at all.
