Summary
You can avoid the fetch waterfall issue by using "Suspense" which triggers parallel data fetching, or by hoisting the data fetching mechanism to a higher level in the component hierarchy and passing it down through props, creating a React Context if necessary, or using libraries like TanStack Query. Moving the data fetching to the server-side does not solve the problem unless you fetch in parallel, as it can introduce new issues with TTFB web vitals.
