For someone who really wants to learn CSS from scratch, is it a bad idea that I start learning CSS by using tailwind?

I am mostly a backend dev and trying to learn UI dev since I need it for some side projects.

My developer co-workers and I have talked about teaching our designers how to code with Tailwind. The designers have no experience with writing code, but I still think its a good idea to start with Tailwind because you'll use many of the best practices and avoid a lot of the historic madness in the CSS world.

Depending on how much time and effort you want to invest, learning how something works will always be more useful than learning how to use it.
