I've been writing CSS since 2000 (when it was introduced). I'm not a ninja, but I know how to write it, and I love Tailwind.

Tailwind is not for "people who don't know CSS", it's a design system. A value prop of it is for teams who don't have a dedicated designer. Tailwind gives you a set of fixed "design decisions" in the form of utility classes, which is far more flexible than something like Bootstrap, while still offering set constraints (which brings uniformity).

I'd even argue Tailwind is challenging and obtuse if you aren't already quite comfortable with css.

Exactly. Definitely wouldn't use tailwind without a firm css understanding first.
