[418] Is nuxt.js as static site generator practical for large site with many pages?

Is it advisable/recommended/practical/efficient to use nuxt.js as a static site generator for a site with many thousands of pages? I'm asking because this paragraph from vuejs.org seems to imply static site generation may not be a good idea for a large site:

If you’re only investigating SSR to improve the SEO of a handful of marketing pages (e.g. /, /about, /contact, etc), then you probably want prerendering instead. Rather than using a web server to compile HTML on-the-fly, prerendering simply generates static HTML files for specific routes at build time. The advantage is setting up prerendering is much simpler and allows you to keep your frontend as a fully static site.
