You can use dynamic list of subviews, but you need to be careful with the types and the instantiation. For reference, this is a demo a dynamic 'hamburger' here, github/swiftui_hamburger.

// Pages View to select current page
/// This could be refactored into the top level
struct Pages: View {
    @Binding var currentPage: Int
    var pageArray: [AnyView]

    var body: AnyView {
        return pageArray[currentPage]
    }
}

// Top Level View
/// Create two sub-views which, critially, need to be cast to AnyView() structs
/// Pages View then dynamically presents the subviews, based on currentPage state
struct ContentView: View {
    @State var currentPage: Int = 0

    let page0 = AnyView(
        NavigationView {
            VStack {
                Text("Page Menu").color(.black)

                List(["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"].identified(by: \.self)) { row in
                    Text(row)
                }.navigationBarTitle(Text("A Page"), displayMode: .large)
            }
        }
    )

    let page1 = AnyView(
        NavigationView {
            VStack {
                Text("Another Page Menu").color(.black)

                List(["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"].identified(by: \.self)) { row in
                    Text(row)
                }.navigationBarTitle(Text("A Second Page"), displayMode: .large)
            }
        }
    )

    var body: some View {
        let pageArray: [AnyView] = [page0, page1]

        return Pages(currentPage: self.$currentPage, pageArray: pageArray)

    }
}
