In my experience it's exactly the opposite.

For small projects you don't have to create any boilerplate styles, resets, and the like...you just start writing code. A lot of frontend frameworks that are popular these days have CLI options to set up Tailwind out of the box at the same time you bootstrap the rest of the files.

For large projects, maintenance is easier because you don't have to relearn the CSS architecture each time you (or more importantly, someone else) comes back to work on something after a few months. If you're doing microfrontends, just import the same config file?
