Should we choose Nuxt?

Our current internal dashboard is in static HTML, CSS. We are planning to move to SPA. We don't care about SEO.

Should we use Nuxt with Vue or just Vue only?

I've built a number of static and admin style pages. I've been a huge fan of how Nuxt works. It gives you a lot of functionality and structure that's easy to work with and nice if the app grows larger.

I would chose Nuxt. If u decide to change build type at any point it will be so easy to do.

Highly recommend choosing Nuxt. We just migrated a large Vue2 / Vuetify dashboard over to Vue3 / Nuxt3 / Vuetify3 and I love the Nuxt configuration that comes 'out of the box'. For example our Vue2 app had a folder called "views" and we manually had to maintain a vue-router routes file. Nuxt handles this for you with a "pages" folder, and 'auto creates' your routes for you. The other really nice feature is auto import of components. Your pages files are not cluttered with import statements everywhere.

Oh and then there is Webpack vs Vite ... night and day, Vite is awesome. I could go on, but would strongly suggest starting with Nuxt. If you built Vue3 from scatch, you will find you are creating the same patterns that are already solved by Nuxt.

any tips on how I can port an existing Vuetify+vue3 in nuxt?

Now that Nuxt 3 is out I'd highly recommend it as it makes a lot of things much easier, even if you don't use SSR.
