Do I need dynamic meta tags in an isomorphic JavaScript application?

I have an isomorphic web application. Right now I am not updating meta tags client side. I see there are tons of libraries that handle this. However, is it even necessary? When Google crawls a website does it do a "page refresh" when following links or does it navigate "client side"?

Checkout this article about Google particularly, since that was the engine you asked about, Will Google Find Your React Content?. Also, Yahoo, Bing, etc do not support JS in their crawlers.

Ideally, you will want to set those meta values in your template engines (Jade, EJS, Pug, Mustache) when the index.html file is rendered to the browser.
