But wouldn't rendering equivalent JSON be similarly enormous, and
wouldn't we have to render the HTML server-side for the initial page
view anyhow?

Sure, nice to have.

Not sure I really get that.  Do you mean because if the same object
appears on multiple pages, we win by caching the object once?

It just seems to me that if you have a problem and you solve it with
JSON, now you have two problems, and if you add Javascript then you have
three problems.
