I thought the drop here was just a demo but I'm happy to try to respond. (And I'm not Aurora either.)
It is perfectly fine to use Next.js exclusively client-side to call your backend if it is separated from your frontend, you can technically just use Next.js without RSCs. (It's going to take a lot of "use client" though.) The idea behind the model is to provide a solution where the backend and the frontend are coupled, but otherwise you can use something like React Query just fine on the client.
