Does a Lovable-built site actually rank on Google? Honest experiences wanted

I've been testing Lovable for a project and the output looks great visually. But I quickly realized everything runs on client-side rendered React. The HTML shell Google receives is basically just `<div id="root"></div>` and a script tag.

I know Googlebot can render JavaScript, but I've read it's slow, inconsistent, and other crawlers (Bing, AI bots) often skip it entirely.

Has anyone actually ranked a Lovable site for competitive keywords without adding prerendering or migrating to Next.js? Was it worth it?

Not looking to bash the tool, it's genuinely fast for building UIs. Just trying to figure out if it's a realistic choice for SEO-driven projects or a hard no.
