I don’t believe the Tailwind approach is a stable, scalable, or reliable solution for large, long-living products.

It works well for fast delivery, prototypes, and teams optimizing for short-term speed, but over time it tends to spread styling decisions across markup, making the system harder to control, reason about, and maintain.

I agree. But also, on a broader note, I have no desire to introduce node for the sole purpose of some css niceties.

Coming back a couple of years later to a broken build system when you just want to change a colour is no fun.
