I sense a growing, or at least more vocal, antipathy towards to the term Jamstack in certain corners of tech. A lot of this seems to revolve around how tightly tied you believe Jamstack is to static or, alternatively, if you feel the term has broadened to the point of losing meaning.
Personally, I've never felt the term to be tied to static. In fact, it was created to distinguish itself from static. But I can sympathize with those who feel that what uniquely defines a Jamstack app versus a non-Jamstack one is hard to pin down.
Web app development more broadly has come to adopt many tools and techniques from Jamstack while Jamstack has moved further from its roots in pre-rendering + client-side API calls to look more like standard web development.

📖 The Jamstack Book
The book Ray Camden and I have been working on for approximately 25 years (or at least it felt like it) is finally available. It's a broad overview of building Jamstack apps covering a range of tools, both in terms of SSGs but also integrations like headless CMS, ecommerce and more.
