Server side rendering of React applications doesn't just refer to the fact that it's generated on the server like you do with PHP.
The main difference is that there are IDs that allow the client side code to seamlessly attach event handlers (this is called hydration) to the DOM - and that there is no difference between server and client side code.
In your case, you'd have to do that manually - a huge difference (speaking as someone who used to do that with jQuery).
