Depending on the kind of content t you have, that's hardly an issue. I've built a big site like this, and gzip does an extremely good job at filtering out duplicate data. Check the source of http://viva.vlaanderen/



when you view the source of your page, you see that very little of the dehydrated state is used to build your initial markup.

The entire rendered source is 142K. I isolated the actual markup, and it weighs in at 31K.

In other words, your dehydrated state is 4x bigger than your html rendering. And that's not including your 750K main.js file that also gets downloaded.

That's almost 1MB of downloads (not including images and stylesheets) just to "app-ify" your 31K of markup. I tend to agree, it's not a problem. Or perhaps, it's not one of the biggest problems. But it's not "hardly an issue" either.
