that's a bad idea i think. I have a crawlers to parse the mini app metadata, I don't want to execute JS. Many clients like slack don't want to do that.

You can set it with JS, if the crawler is JS enabled it will pick the data, most search engines pick metadata that's set on the client. 

But there are many that just download the page without having a JS engine enabled in that case metadata sent from the server is required.

In a world where all crawlers would be JS enabled SSR for metadata would not be necessary.

Depends on the specific needs. If it’s for something like open graph images, you can set a server to return dynamic content without needing it to power the entire site rendering.
