I guess it depends on your project and workflow preferences. Personally, I'm not a big fan of HMR and the bundling times are negligible even without "pre-bundling" npm dependencies (as Vite puts), so I see little reason for Vite.

We switched over to Vite some time back and it's been pretty life changing. We're using react and tailwind too, so the HMR works really well for us.

The config is beyond minimal. If you're using webpack you may want to look away now :-)

    import { resolve } from 'path'
    
    import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
    import reactRefresh from '@vitejs/plugin-react-refresh'
    
    
    export default defineConfig({
      plugins: [reactRefresh()],
      build: {
        rollupOptions: {
          input: {
            index: resolve(__dirname, 'index.html'),
          }
        },
        sourcemap: true
      },
      esbuild: {
        jsxInject: `import * as React from "react"`
      },
      resolve: {
        alias: [
          { find: '@', replacement: '/src' },
        ]
      },
    })
