My main issue with Storybook is how much trouble it is to get everything else running with it. Need next-image? Routing? i18n on demand?

Tough luck - you'll need to implement it for both the app you're building and Storybook. And sometimes implementing it in the app itself is the _easy_ part. Nevertheless, I feel like it does improve the dev experience and intend to keep using it. You just need to know when to cut your losses and not use it for more complex use-cases.

I tried getting it going with linaria last year and just about lost my marbles. I think it was the deepest webpack rabbit hole I’ve ever gone down.

I love the idea of SB but haven’t come across a project where it actually works with the components.

Getting Strapi/GraphQL working on it for a sample comonent was so difficult, it took us longer than the actual Stapi/GraphQL setup and we gave up.
