Do you have an example of a “template app” that has anything even close to the actual feature complexity of an average SPA? Unless you control for that, I’d be willing to guess that the difference in bugginess is simply due to SPAs having a more complex set of features.

How about rewritten apps like reddit, that's as like for like as you can get? There are a bunch of apps/categories (things like JIRA) that were once template style and are now SPA style, the SPA version are nearly always worse.
