I agree with the usage of state for CSRF protection, but it can also be used to capture the application state (as specified in: [I-D.bradley-oauth-jwt-encoded-state]). I am asking if there is any recommendation between using state for both csrf and application state Vs. relying completely on redirect URIs to maintain application state.

got you, thanks for the clarification.

I would recommend to use PKCE for CSRF prevention and state for representing the application state.

Torsten.
