There's obviously a cost here. We do this with Auth0 and it makes our SPA a lot slower in some places.

It's an enterprise tool with desktop users, so it's not a big deal, but it's still a cost that we pay.

Yes, definitely. I think on modern stacks, costs are reducing to the point that most would rather avoid the webhook complexity.

It may be domain specific, too. It’s not all that common to need user profile data in the critical path. Auth is in the critical path, but we workaround that via JWTs.
