Disclaimer being that I'm talking mostly about 5 - 10 page presentation websites, consistently, I achieve 95+ on Google Page Speed for Mobile when deploying the Next.JS solutions on the Vercel infrastructure. There are helpers for working with images that can generate multiple versions, transform to WebP and other stuff. This is where most of the optimization work goes I think.

I'm also averse to 'hotness' but at the same time, consideration should be given based on use case. I can't talk for advanced use-cases with Next.JS but using it for the one off freelancing simple website gig, it's a breath of fresh air.
There's also a customer serving around 100.000 pregenerated web pages (simple stuff, catalog item with pictures, related items and people linked to it) and the speed is insane for navigating their internal catalogue :)
