I'm in that same situation in an MPA Fastify + Svelte project. Honestly, it takes more time for the app to reconnect to the DB than for Webpack to do an incremental rebuild.
I've been considering switching to Vite because it should make the SSR + hydration config much simpler and I would get HMR (hot module reloading) which will probably speed my iteration times if it works as expected.
